Randall Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 The one with the most yards at the end of the season 933578[/snapback] I disagree. I think he will be the one who scores the most points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulOttCarruth Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Favorites: Shaun Alexander and Jamal Lewis Because they've both been at or very near the top before and they're still young enough to get there again. Darkhorses: Rudi Johnson and Julius Jones Because Rudi has proven he can handle a huge workload and because Parcells will run Jones all day.

Swampnuts Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Jamal should rack up some big totals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Jamal should rack up some big totals. 933686[/snapback] Yes, he's hungry, but I like LT and Alexander and D Davis did well the end of last year. LT is young and sholud be MVP soon, maybe this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingblade Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Another vote for Jamal. If the Ravens improve the passing game he could have a very big year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I haven't been sold on Jamal...maybe it's me...but he was unimpressive in my league last year.. But then again, my league favors backs who catch the ball more than backs like Jamal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) I hate to say it, but, I will have to go along with Jamal Lewis winning the rushing title this year. Total yards from scrimmage for a RB will go to LaDanian Tomlinson easily, as will fantasy points in performance leagues, especially those rewarded for receptions.

Avernus Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 can somebody please tell me why Jamal?...I, for one think he shot his load in 2002...or 2003...whatever year...I forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The addition of Mason, Clayton, and Heap will definitely help them move the ball, but Kyle Boller simply is not good enough to run a heavy passing offense and the Ravens know it. Jamal will be fed the ball a lot, and I don't think anyone can doubt his ability to run the football. He is not as much of a multi-dimensional threat as an L.T., but he can run.

I'm wavering between LT and SA... 934308[/snapback] somebody new....new blood will emerge this year...I just don't know who... LT will be right there...SA won't..Edge won't...Holmes could if somebody sprinkled some crack on him or something and prevented him from being injured....maybe McGahee if he stays healthy...Kevin Jones...Mike Anderson ..Steven Jackson?.... I just got this strong feeling there will be alot of changes in who will be considered a top leading rusher this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in 2 exceptional games and he goes for over 2k again. That's why. That offense relies on him. Boller still sucks and the D is still great.

Boller still sucks and the D is still great. 934331[/snapback] I think we sometimes forget that he's an actual human being...any back who has crossed the 2000 yd mark has not been in the game much longer afterwards...Barry did it and wasn't a pounding type back... TD did it and he fell apart...no human being is supposed to be used like this...especially one with an injury history in the likes of jamal's...

I don't see how jail time is going to help him recover from his terrible year last year. I've never seen a starting RB come out so many times during a game for a breather like Jamal did last season. This years #1 is going to be LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tboogs Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 NO way Jamal leads the NFL in rushing....The only plays on 1st & 2nd down... I'll go with Alexander...He is consistent & he is in on passing downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
