only these ones stood out to me as possibly better
BUF- LeSean McCoy, Fred Jackson (This has a possibility to be a good backfield, but ours should be better)
KCC- Jamaal Charles, Knile Davis (This could possibly be the best tandem in the league... I think it is.)
NOS- Mark Ingram, CJ Spiller (If these guys stay healthy WATCH OUT, could be a mean combo)
PHI- DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles (If Murray was anything close to last year, this duo could be pretty good... but im doubtful)
SEA- Marshawn Lynch, Robert Turbin (This is another good tandem, but a case where the main guy is really pulling their duo up.... Adrian Peterson is another example of a guy bringind his tandem higher than it should be.
We could very well have the best tandem in the league... I say we do, but I'm a homer.
Ryan Matthews is actually the top backup behind DeMarco Murray. That to me is far and away the best tandem in the league. Matthews has had some great seasons as a top back. Murray is the reigning rushing champ. So I'd take the following tandems over ours:
PHI- Murray, Matthews
KC- Charles, Knile Davis
SEA- Lynch/Turbin or Christine Michael (mainly for Lynch)
Minny- AP + McKinnon or Asiata (AP is probably still going to beast out and McKinnon/Asiata proved capable last year)
McCoy + F. Jackson and Ingram + Spiller are probably right up there with Hill + Gio.
I voted 3-5. Our duo is right up there with the best in the league. Hopefully Hill doesn't have a sophomore slump.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
