Who can do what PT and Sproils do? so far none of the young guns have proven themselves as all around backs. that's my point

our war horses excel as third down back the ponies do not. yet

Sproils is a specialty player, a toy, much like Bush, players that mess with defenders heads by just being on the field.

PT does not have that skill set. he is solid and dependable in all facets of his game.

Now that is hard to find also. thats why PT and Darrin are so dangerous on the field together. they compliment each other

1 game means nothing, a year does. And none of your "war horses" excelled at 3rd down this season. 3rd down success is directly tied to 1st
Down success and we pass first.

Next I should expect 1 contract means nothing?

We don't need all around backs that do 10 things well. We need 1 that runs through people and holes very well.
