    Good for Sankey.

    Tennessee is where promising prospects go to die behind a terrible o line.

    Locker could have been decent if he wasnt getting injured, often due to his lines incompetence

    D line as a safety perhaps

    I know the numbers say otherwise, but I'll always think Polk was better. I like Sankey, but I don't think his game translates well at the highest level.

    As a college back, I'd go:
    1. Sankey
    2. Gaskin
    3. Polk

    But Gaskin has time to move up, and probably will.

    Hard to rank them. They are all around the same level player. All really, really good. I loved all of them.

    Polk ran so fucking hard, Sankey was like a 15 pound heavier Gaskin and Gaskin is so quick. I love them all.
    I agree with all of that. And it is hard to really rank them because of recency bias and the wholly different offenses they played in.

    Sankey and Polk would both be really fun to watch behind this line. And the stuff Gaskin does in the open field is pretty breathtaking.

    Part of it may be the line and playcalling, but I like Gaskin the best of the 3. I feel all warm and safe inside knowing he's getting the bulk of the carries.

    Anybody talked to his grandpa?

    Grandpa's not surprised.

    Bishop is an exquisite athlete with great hips.

    Or so I've been told.
    ill bet you saw this coming a mile away, huh?

    In my lifetime there has only been one tailback I would put above the others and that's Dillon.

    Corey was just brutal and unstoppable.

    I think Nip was faster than Gaskin, but Nip's vision and feel wasn't what Myles' are.

    I just think of it like, the top tier is Dillon and the next tier is Nip, Myles, Polk, Bishop and Greg Lewis.

    Beyond that, that next tier is like Beno, Jacque, Shehee...

    Louis Rankin?

    But I love them all.

    Disagree. Murray and Mariota are tearing it up behind that same offensive line. Locker straight up sucked, and while Sankey still has time to turn it around, he too sucked during his stint in Tennessee.

    Unless you are an elite pass catcher or Barry Sanders, smaller RB's don't do as well in the NFL. That's what it seems like.

    I always though Shehee could have been way better if he could stay healthy and wasn't playing in those retarded Woodruff/Linehan (can't remember which but they were both dreck) offenses.

    Leon Neal was also damn good, he was just buried on the depth chart behind Kaufman and Bryant most of his career.
