December 7, 200421 yr Julius Jones. Kevin Jones hasn't been very shaky at times (may have something to do with the team he's on), and Stephen Jackson has done nothing too spectacular. Mewelde has faded away.
December 7, 200421 yr Julius Jones, no doubt. Dude's been insane. I mean Dallas couldn't run the ball, period. Now they probably have the most rushing yards of any team over the last three weeks. Kevin Jones has been coming on real strong. Averaging 4.8 ypc now on a mediocre team. Stephen Jackson is solid, no doubt. You can't complain about that 5.0 ypc. But he's got a lot more to work with, and he gets to spell an All-Pro (albeit washed up) RB. Jackson was impressive carrying the load himself this last week, though. Minnesota hasn't been the same since those other fools replaced Moore in the lineup. Dude was averaging 6 yards a carry, which is insane. I don't know why he's not playing. Minnesota was at their peak with him in, going 3-0. Then he got injured against the Giants, and Minnesota got destroyed. Since that game, Minnesota is 2-3, and Moore hasn't gotten a carry. He's ready to run now. PUT HIM IN, Tice! Anyway, I think long term, it's gonna be like this: 1. Julius Jones 2. Stephen Jackson 3. Kevin Jones 4. Mewelde Moore but they should all be quality starters. Edit: I neglected to mention Moore's pass-catching abilities. He's easily the best receiver of the 4 backs.
December 7, 200421 yr Author The games I have seen Kevin Jones, he has looked absolutley awesome. He wasn't healthy the beginning of the year and was splitting time. Now he's getting carries and the last 4 games has averaged over 6.2 ypc. I'd probably go: 1. Julius Jones 1. (tie) Kevin Jones 3. Mewelde Moore 4. Stephen Jackson

December 7, 200421 yr Willis is not a rookie and second he hasn't been all that impressive. Julius Jones Stephen Jackson Kevil Jones
December 7, 200421 yr I think in the NFL you're a rookie coming out of the draft, period. No minor leagues, so there's no reason to get all technical about it. Anyway...if you did throw Willis into the mix, I might put him above Mewelde Moore, but no higher. He's running a high number of carries, but few of those have been impressive. I still think he'll be good though.
December 7, 200421 yr Author Just some stats to throw into the mix: Kevin Jones 145 car for 703 yds (4.8 ypc), 2 TD Julius Jones: 98 car for 445 yds (4.5 ypc), 5 TD Mew Moore: 64 car for 376 yds (5.9 ypc), 0 TD - 27 rec for 238 yds Stephen Jackson: 100 car for 496 yds (5.0 ypc), 2 TD Impressive Stats: Julius Jones, Last 2 games: 63 carries for 348 yards (5.5 ypc, 174 yd/g) and 5 TD Kevin Jones, Last 4 games: 76 carries for 476 yards (6.3 ypc, 119 yds/g) and 2 TD Mew Moore, First 3 games: 55 carries for 339 yards (6.2 ypc, 113 yds/g) - 24 rec for 198 yds (avg/g: 8 rec, 66 yds) S. Jackson: In games with more than 3 carries (9 games), has averaged over 4 ypc in each game.
December 7, 200421 yr Willis played how much last year? He'd be a rookie by MLB's standards. 628964[/snapback] NFL is not MLB. Willis in no rookie by NFL standards.

Willis in no rookie by NFL standards. 628996[/snapback] yes, we all realize this but the NBA allowed Speedy Claxton to be a rook in his 2nd year after he did not play at all his first year anyway, Julius has been awesome for the Boys so far, but its got to be Kevin Jones
December 7, 200421 yr Just some stats to throw into the mix Good stats. The question is, who is making the yards on their own and who is in a system making holes for them? My grandmama could be a 1500 yard back running behind Denver's line - and she's DEAD!
December 7, 200421 yr Author I might have to re-do my rankings because Steven Jackson is a freak. He will bust out when Faulk leaves.

December 7, 200421 yr Stephen Jackson, because once Faulk is gone and he takes over the load, he will be a 1,500 yard brusing back. Although I LOVE Julius Jones, and he's a close second. Mewelde Moore i'm not sold on yet, and Kevin Jones needs to show me he can stay healthy.
