My only problem with Ridley is that he chose the absolute WORST times to fumble.I don't want Sony to fumble
Sorry that's what I remember most about Ridley sadly.

My observation of Hunt is that he's a good example of a "system" back. If he were to leave this offense and go to any other offense, he'd struggle. A lot of his runs are out of trickery and diversion. I haven't seen him run that great when it's straight up.
Miller is garbage.
Mixon is okay. Nothing special.
Yeah, the NFC is loaded with good backs.
Martin was consistent...not breakaway. He was a 25 carry/80-90 yard a game guy 16 games a season. The biggest mistake he ever made was falling for the snake oil Parcells was selling. New Jersey did nothing for his brand except affix it to a fanbase of trog losers.His dependability was his hallmark.

The video took me back. Martin and Shawn Jefferson were my original favorite players back when I was just a 10 year old jitterbug.
I think only Hunt and Gordon are clearly above Michel in the AFC. Other RBs might be slightly ahead of him but you can make an argument for Michel over the likes of Miller, Mixon, etc. if you wanted to.
I remember that one too but I don't fault him for that.Yea thats what I remember too.
Especially that knockout hit by Pollard in which he dropped the ball as he was out cold.
That's an insane take, so I hope you're trolling. Even Zolak, homer that he is, had Michel at about 9th in the AFC.
No. One of the most vicious hits I can remember.I remember that one too but I don't fault him for that.
Yeah i know what you mean. For what ever reason he gets into some really ugly pile ups where hes twister and bent in ways that the human body was never meant to be folded, bent or twisted.I just want him to stop being folded like a wallet

Agree. He doesn't quite know when to fight for yards and when to preserve himself.They need to teach him how to Turtle up when the going gets tough.

In terms of rushing stats, Michael is exactly 9th on the list. I'd take Michel over Gore, Phillip Lindsey and possibly Joe Mixon. Michel would be higher on this list had he not got injured against the Bears.Yeah I get my kicks trolling the Sony Michel thread. And I conspired with Rainmaker to do it since he already agreed with me.
Which AFC RBs do you think are "clearly" ahead of Michel?
The last full season Martin was with the Pats in '96 was fun to watch. Along with the Jaguars, they were the "Cinderella" team and couldn't believe when the Jags beat the Broncos in the divisional round.
Count me in as someone being obsessed with Martin's career after he went to the Jets. He ran behind some big time O-lines which contributed to taking his career to another level after he left the Pats.
If I'm not mistaken, the Pats low balled Martin before he became a free agent? I believe their reasoning of letting him go was because had they resigned him, they wouldn't have been able to keep McGinest, Ty Law and other key pieces on D. Plus they had a few bad contracts on the O-line.
As I said above, the '96 was really fun. But they were lucky to even be in the Super Bowl against the Packers. They put up a good fight, but they were clearly overrmatched as Reggie White single handedly took the game over.

i think James white’s good at protecting himselfThey need to teach him how to Turtle up when the going gets tough.
Mike Tannenbaum actually came up with that after being pushed by Parcells to find a way to fit him under the cap.Actually, Parcells wrote a poison pill contract that later became illegal. Thanks Bill.
Agree. He doesn't quite know when to fight for yards and when to preserve himself.
To me, his running style is a lot like Edgerrin James's. After his knee injury he learned to avoid the hits when appropriate.
I’m sure he got an earful from more than one person on that first long catch/run where he came down hard on his hip. That could have been ugly.That said, this season so far, Edelman appears to be playing with wild abandon and significantly less regard for self-preservation than in the past.
