A question of style: Evan, Roy or Tim?

Roy Helu and Evan Royster Rookie Highlights - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpFXQJduBZg)

For Hightower Google:
Week 1: Redskins-28 Giants-14 - YouTube

Wow, I don't think i watched royster in the season. His two runs in this video against the eagles are disgusting. I hope he is actually good and it wasn't just because it was a meaningless game against the worst tackling secondary in the league.

I am so happy they brought back Timmy .. dude is all heart and will serve a great mentor to Helu/Roy ... it's scary how many smart decisions this football team is making ... having the 3 headed monster of Tim, Roy, and Evan is such a luxury. Not to mention Young at FB. Man I can't wait for season .. and I can't wait until MADDEN comes out

I think Helu is the starter this season and breaks 1,000 yards

If there was a RB skills list what would the main attributes be?


Size, Speed, Quickness, Toughness, Lateral Agility, Cutback ability, Vision, Catching, Pass Pro, Route Running, Durability, Power(break tackles), Juke (make people miss in space)

He also tore up the Vikings.

He's legit.

i like tim if i had to go with one but what i really like is just picking athletic relatively cheap players to plug in .. burst of speed, one cut guys who can hang onto the balll .. i feel like tim gets the edge b/c he can catch out of the backfield and did well enough picking up blitzers on pass plays .. helu and royster could very well do that to just havent had as much of a chance to show it.

but i love the by committee approach and the production. tim went down, no prob we didnt miss a beat.

Helu. Period. Young burner who can take a hit, vision will only get better. He did that good his ROOKIE season, and has a solid work ethic. Helu FTW.

Looking back on it, Helu could have rushed for over 1,000 yards had he been inserted into the lineup earlier in the season. It took Hightower to go down with a season ending injury for Helu to get a bulk load of the carries. But based on Royster's yard per carry average last season, I'd say he's the best of the three Redskin running backs.

Here's how I rate the backs on each skillset:
