Must Have

 
1. Larry Johnson  ***obviously***
 
2. LaBrandon Toefield  ***you just have to back up ole Fragile Fred***
 
3. Chester Taylor  ***Just have a feeling about this one***
 
4. Tatum Bell *** He's actually better than Anderson***
 
5. Ricky Williams ***I like Ronnie Brown...but hey this is Little Earl!! (or was)***
 
 
Agree?????? or   Disagree??????

Nice job, MC! Great thread idea!
 
Here's how I'd differ, though:
 
1) AGREED
 
1a) Cedric Benson
 
2) Tatum Bell (he'll be the starter sooner than later)
 
3) Reuben Droughns (maybe you're not thinking of him as a backup)
 
4) Travis Henry (how can this guy be a backup, right?)
 
5) Stephen Davis
 
6) Ricky Williams
 
7) Frank Gore (will be the starter before long)
 
8) T. J. Duckett (even taking into account Vick's contributions, part of the #1 rushing offense; he scored 8 times last year)
 
9) Marcel Shipp (still a little doubtful about Arrington)
 
10) Ciatrick Fason (he may be the most durable of the top three)
 
Don't buy into the Toefield/Taylor hype.  They are great handcuffs to Taylor/Lewis, respectively, but that's it (at least at this point in their respective careers).  They need an injury to the top guy.  The top 7 of my top 10 could win the starting jobs outright without the assistance of an injury to the top dog.

I think Larry Johnson is the most important handcuff.
 
I'm not sure about Toefield.  I think if Fred goes down, it'll be more of a RBBC with Toefield, Jones, and Pearman.
 
What about DeShaun Foster (for Stephen Davis)?  And then Nick Goings for Foster?

As per my post above, I thought it was the other way around... or upside-down...
 
I guess we'll all know soon...
