    Run D-M-C, a true TALENT.

    Foster getting made by the system, as you can see Tate was succeeding! ;)

    Oh I'm sorry I didn't see where Tate ran for 155 yards and a TD. Can you show me that game? I did see Mcfadden run for 75 yards and 0 tds. ;)

    I'd put McCoy in front of more than one of those guys.

    Foster got voted as a top 30 player in the league from his peers. I will take their word. Every team runs some form of zone blocking. Just because Run DMC us talented does not make him better.

    Arians vision sets him apart. Does Mcfad have the same vision.

    CJ had a nice little game going over 100 yards for the first time this season. Consistency CJ, consistency.

    If he rounds into form, the Titans could push the Texans all season. What's really surprised me is Hasselbeck. I knew he was an upgrade over Kerry Collins, but this is ridiculous. But he'll come down to earth (and so will the Titans).

    I agree, the texans finally have that division at their feet, hopefully they don't trip and fall.

    And he's a freaking killer out of the backfield catching passes.

    Beast-mode initiated for the rest of the season.

    I've been watching the last three games of McFadden on YouTube where it shows his touches. The guy is FAST and that's about it. His open field moves are mediocre and there is no way in hell he is better than Arian. Mark Arian down for having better:

    Vision, cutting back, making moves, and a better pass blocker. All of these big runs are the result of blocking.

    For instance against Pittsburgh, both of Arians big runs came from putting Mr. Hair's jock on the ground. Stats do not tell the story. The best back in the league is AP all day. Man is insane.

    McFadden couldnt get near 100 yards rushing against the poor Pats D, and Foster got over 100 yards over the Pitt D (the only player to do it besides Ray Rice in 2 years).

    just because Foster missed 3 games, everyone forgot how good he is, and that he is the leading rusher of last year.

    DMC is in the top 3, thats for sure, but not no.1

    AP is no.1, his fumble problems seems to be fixed, and with that, he is the best now.

    After watching today's game, it's clear Foster is the more complete player. But DMC has some wheels, man.

    Today is why it's clear McFadden isn't the best -- dude gets nicked up way too much. He's in the top ten - probably the top five, but we'll see how quickly he recovers from this sprain.

    Trent Dilfer just said Matt Forte probably the second-best RB in football behind Peterson. 'Peterson in a class of his own but Matt Forte probably the 2nd best running back in the league.'
