Fred Taylor was such a beast, he was always one of my favorite backs to watch. It's a shame he couldn't stay healthy

Love watching Taylor. Even watching Taylor in NE in limited time was fun because in those moments he still looked like a far more refined back than anyone they've had since Corey Dillon. And Dillon was in bruiser mode at that point in his career.

Good Stuff!

Matt, I have a few specific questions on your dynasty rankings. Would this be a good place or should I start a new thread?

 

[Matt Waldman]

PM me or find the recent thread about Waldman's dynasty rankings that was around last week.

Great article and topic Matt. Given the observations you shared, which current (and rookie) RBs stand out as sharing some of those traits?

 

[Matt Waldman]

Many of these rookie RBs show these traits. Vision will be what separates a lot of these guys.

Ingram, no doubt.

Powell

Williams has nice footwork

Carter

Vereen

Other than Darren McFadden I'd say the top 10-12 fantasy RBs last year share these traits. In fact, most of NFL starters share them.

Eddie George could soon be Bowling Green’s new head football coach

Bowling Green might gain 3 yards.

He took the job.

Zero doubt he interviews with the Titans next year if Callahan is gone since he wasn't hired by the current GM.
He interviewed for the Bears job weeks ago.

I don't know what the questions are with him. Maybe Xs and Os. He's always been about huge effort and class. He added leader of men to that. Absolutely gushing stories of him working with college kids and how he transformed things the right way.

The NFL seems like such a leap but he already interviewed so I don't know.
If there are similar stories of turning around Bowling Green, Titans fans will be screaming for him to be their next coach.

He's an impressive man that's got a way about him that's undeniable. That must be a factor here above n beyond usual stats and ladder to climb

Fragile Fred was a cruel name for a great player.
