So are we at least understanding the difference between a feature back and a short yardage backup here? If Fatdale was good enough to be a starter then he would be a starter. Too bad that he's half the player that Chris Johnson is. I would pay to see a team try to make Fatdale their feature back and give him the full work load. I think he would fall on his ass (no pun intended). Jerome was waaay more than just some fat guy that could take a hit. His strength, his footwork, his speed relative to his size.....the NFL has never seen anything like him. He doesn't belong being compared to the T.J. Duckett types of the world.
Wow, Lendale slimmed down 40 pounds. And as I type, WHAT AN INTERCEPTION BY POLAMALU!! He's all over the field!
