It's not great shtick, tbh, and really stinky bait as it's coming across (likely purposefully so to stir pots) as willfully ignorant of what both of these backs have shown so far.
Yes, Freeman has more prototypical size and bulk, which I can see would make him run with a more powerful style. But he is simply not been the better back in this offense.
Both have had great plays lowering the shoulder and moving the piles, both have looked good at times in turning corners and getting upfield around defenders. But Lindsay does much more and more often. And more impressive to me is Lindsay's willingness and ability to do it at his size -- he's actually looked good in these short yardage/inside the 10 power runs not shying from contact and actually being effective and keepign his legs churning for extra yards.
Denver may have a high class problem on their hand with two very capable backs, but there is little evidence -- tangible or intangible -- that Freeman is and has been better so far.
Back on track, how do we feel Lindsay will fare this weekend against a fairly stout PIT run D who seems sound both stuffing inside and getting good pursuit from ends and LBs?
Actually fairly nervous despite the fact that PIT has let dynamic/athletic backs run over them this year (CMC is a good example). It's a tough match up for sure, and was surprised to see that he was fairly high ranked by FBG and other analysts this weekend.
