    All I know is that I wouldn't want to try to tackle him.

    All I know is that I benched him for Willie Parker on Thursday.

    Bad move.

    No, Marion Barber is more like him. Jacobs weighs 265. Barber is 225 and Earl was 230. Barber is 6' and Earl was 5' 11" and Jacobs is 6' 4". Both Barber and Jacobs are beasts but I've said Barber reminds me of Campbell for the past three years. And I heard John Madden say the same thing this year as well.

    I guess it all evened out as he sat out today. My fantasy team is pretty pissed about this.

    Jacobs is more like Christian Okoye (sp?).

    Earl could go side to side and north-south, great vision. Maybe a much bigger, much stronger, LT (though w/o the receiving and throwing skills)--but even that isn't quite right because LT has than Sanders ability to lose yards on some carries.

    None of the RBs today are in Earl class, but I personally think AP is the closest as a pure running talent. AP is a little taller and upright than Earl (more like Dickerson). But it terms of raw talent and impacting the game from the RB spot, I think he is the closet.
