Thunder and Lightening
 

with duece and reggie under payton it is reminicent of the nyg when payton was there. many mock drafts talk about the possibility of cleveland taking peterson to pair with jamal anderson. Is this the defining of the new trend in the nfl?? if so then can we call it the payton offence and get our boys a little more face time on ESPN

It was obvious last year that this was a trend that was going to continue. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. Jamal Lewis isn't getting any younger and only signed a one year deal. Peterson is a franchise back that would help in Charlie Frye's development should they continue with him as quarterback.

Shannahan has been platooning backs for a while now in Denver. The Eagles had Staley and Westbrook a few years ago, and you can even make an argument for Jackson/Allen and Faulk/Candidate back in the day and Tomlinson/Turner, Jones/Benson and Dillion/Maroney more recently. None of those tandems are on the same level as Reggie and Deuce though (except Jackson/Allen, that's Super Tecmo Bowl-style gold). If you can keep them together for more than 3 years, you can call it the "Miracle Offense".

Bo Jackson, and Marcus Allen, now that was a tandem. Unbelievable. That was almost like having Walter Payton, and Jim Brown, on the same offense. Imagine that one!

Reggie/Deuce is the best combo in the league right now, hands down.
