SEA - no

ARI - Egde (yes I think?)

Phi - Westbrook

NYG - no

SD - LT

KC - LJ

Good point, if the Dolphins decide to keep him, he will definitely cut into Brown's time. As far as SEA goes, SA usually comes out on 3rd downs.

By your answers, i would think your question would be more appropriately titled, "which starting RB's will not get pulled on 3rd down".

When i think of an every down back, it would also include those that the team leaves in on short yardage situations.

Right. Do you mean generally featured backs that are also 3rd down backs - like LT, SJax, etc. or do you mean simply "starters" that generally take 3rd down reps though they might otherwise significantly share time like a Thomas Jones?FYI - there also probably many other threads out there like this that could simply be updated.
 
michael turner
I hear he will play for a west coast AND east coast team this year. After the early game, will use his super powers to fly to the west coast and play there. Which brings up a problem for commisioners of their FF leagues, do you count both games, does the owners have to select which game to start him?

NO - no Bush but other RBBC issues

Min - Does Chester stay in? He was for a chunk of last year but I believe lost those responsibilities late last year because he was wearing down and they wanted to keep him fresher

Det - ?? not sureKJ if healthy but Bell concerns?

OAK - ??Jordan was everydown but Rhodes concerns?

HOU - Ahman??I would think so

Colts - Addai

Jax - noTaylor can be everydown but MJD certainly gets his share

CIN - with Perry healthy will Rudi now come out on 3rd downs?Rudi was never a 3rd down guy

BAL - will Willis be an every down back?Possibly based on Ozzie comments
Couple comments again depending on what exactly you are trying to do.

I don't want backs that are part of a RBBC. I'm talking about RBs that stay in for all 3rd downs, that typically don't get pulled for situational circumstances (even at the goal line).

Then i would consider taking Westbrook of the list, wouldnt feel to safe with him as the short yardage back.

I didnt watch alot of Eagles games, but i definetly remember Buckhalter being use on the goalline on more than a few occasions.
 
I love how every year some RB makes headlines like a martian has landed. Turner has won this year. Last year was......Wali Lundy?

 
I'm confused, who has everydown back talent or who is gonna be given the opportunity by their team to play every down? Like Portis is an everydown back, but I seriously doubt if Betts remains on the team that he will be getting to play every down. From your listing, whatever the actual question is, I would argue Shaun Alexander is Seattle's everydown back. Also I think New Orleans has two.

Gotta leave WEstbrook on. He's usually left in on third downs because the Eagles are just as likely to throw a screen as run on 3rd and 2. He can also be split out leaving a FB or second RB in the backfield alone. He may not be a traditional power back, but the mismatches he can create make it hard for a defensive coordinator to simply put 8 run-stuffers in the box, leaving him still somewhat effective when they do run on 3rd and short. If you look at all the Birds 3rd and shorts the last couple of years, I imagine you'll find that he's on the field far more often then not.

So back who can catch and are good in short-yardage.

what about fwp who is gonna replace him
Did you watch any Stealers games last year? He came out every 3rd... Standard... for Davenport. What really sucked, is if the Stealers got down towards the end of the game and they were in obvious passing situations, FWP would remain out for the entire series.Now who knows with the new coaching regime? They may try to cultivate him into a 3rd down back, but if I was the coach and I knew it was going to be a passing down, I may want someone a little bigger to pass block for Ben. We'll have to wait and see, but going off of last year, FWP came out on 3rd downs.

Are you doing that on purpose?

I think you are wrong
 
The Jets are gonna stick with the runningback by committee aproach. TJ, Leon, and Cedric Houston will all get play time, although TJ will get the majority

 
locks imo, lj, lt, jackson, gore, mcghee, edge, addai, probables benson, parker, brown & maybe maroney
