Who has the better running duo in NFC east?

When's the last time you saw a hole like that for Portis or Betts? It's been awhile. So, i don't think it's an apples to apples comparison.

The O-line is a big part of it, but it's on the RBs to have great vision and instincts as well. If it was all about the line, then why didn't Julius Jones thrive behind it? It was the same line that Barber and Felix is running behind now. They are good backs. It is what it is.

As far as the better running duo, I want to say Dallas, but I will have to say the Giants. Their running game is too strong overall.

I forgot about Mike sellers but probably because he has the same amount of rushing attempts as Devin Thomas and Moss which is one attempt.

If we are looking at three back system T Choice could be a starter for another team. Both RB rookies have both been rather impressive thus far, and I can only hope they keep it up and don't end like Julius Jones.

I think you're right, T Choice could be a starter for another team. Like the Dallas Desperadoes, Nashville Kats, or Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. As for NFL teams, get real.

Thank you for bringing up the fact that Jones has only three games under his belt. The way the NFL goes he could be mopping floors in a coupl of years.

Fair enough hopefully Felix does not turn out like Julius. Considering that factor I would give it to the Giants.

I would say in order the Giants(three headed monster), Skins(very close second Betts is good at times and then he is not), and Eagles (Buckhalter, I'll pass).

What do the Skins need to do to stop Felix Sunday?

Barber is a good back, but this whole "runs harder than anyone" is just garbage. He's the flavor of the month for the media. He ran pretty hard for under 50 yds on Sunday. Not sure how old you are so you may not have seen some of these guys but, there are MANY backs who ran MUCH harder than Barber: Earl Campbell, Franco Harris, Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Larry Brown, Larry Czonka, Jerome Bettis, and lest we not forget John Riggins.

Here are current backs who run just as hard if not harder: Brandon Jacobs, LT, Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, Stephen Jackson.

We are third in this because. Philly has no run game without Westbrook. CP does his thing. Betts makes a play here and their but he's not that outstanding. I wish he would actually step his game up 2 notches and CP step his game up 1 notch. Dont get me wrong. CP played his ass off last game. I am a CP fan. I just want him to have his break out game. The O-Line needs to improve in the run game blocking to add to that.. But it might come against the Eagles..Hmmm..Wouldn't that be nice.

What did you say?

NFC RB Duos ranked:

1. Portis and Betts (or Campbell)
2. Jacobs and Ward/Bradshaw
3. Babar and Felix
4. Westbrook and _________ (nobody)

i give the giants the cred for this one, with dallas and skins too close to call in second...dallas has a stronger number two in felix jones than we do in betts, but portis overall is a better back than barber

So does T Choice still start for the Dallas Desperadoes or an NFL team.

no he doesn't and for the guy who said nothing is wrong with our OL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

[Eknox]

I guess that duo wasn't good enough to beat thye Eagles...hahaha....lol....How bout them cowboys....what a joke

[SBXVII]

As much as I would like to say the Skins I can't. Partially due to the fact our run game sucked the second half of the yr and yes I do understand it was a result of the O-line injuries.

You mentioned your Boys? I can't pick them either. I think I would have to go with the team who has made it to post play and honestly the Eagles only have a one man team.......Westbrook so he's not a duo. I'll call it the Giants.

He doesn't start for anyone right now since Dallas missed the playoffs!

If not, the Redskins win hands down. There is no better back in the NFC East than Portis. Tripplet? That's debatable.
