You're forgetting young Deuce when he would pop a 60 yarded every game just about. Love PT. Similar personality to Deuce but talent level is way different. Deuce was 225+ and 4.4 40yd dash. Reminded me a little of Jim Brown. Deuce also had great hands too.

It sure feels like NOTHING good ever comes out of that formation anymore. I can't think of a single recent example where anything positive has happened from it!

Great to see PT get more reps today and long may the trend continue. He did great for us and always gives 100%.

Fantastic role model for the rest of the team!!!!!

Let's hope

It's hard to compare PT and Duece, our O-Line was so much better when Duece was toting the rock.

I'm guessing PT would look about the same running behind the 2006 O-Line:

Yo. No offense buy you joined two years ago. People here have been screaming "run the ball" since I joined.

Khiry and Pierre have both played well, and when Ingram was healthy he was even playing well. When you have multiple guys producing how are they going to get burned out? If guys like Marshawn Lynch and Adrian Peterson can carry their offenses on their backs at times, why can't two or three guys carry the load? It's about winning.

Eghhhhh come on now... Deuce was all we had to look forward too for so many Years he will always be my favorite RB... Nothing was better than hearing that dome shouting DEUCE !!!!!!!!!!! But easily #2 would be PT

And everyone *****ed throughout his entire career that he has not been utilized enough and doesn't get more touches. The fact that he has been used sparingly is exactly why after 7 years in the league he looks as good as ever. I think Payton always knew exactly what he was doing with PT.
