Ravens Insider: Ray Rice to maintain hefty workload

Ray is a tremendous person and the best all around RB in the NFL. He leads the league in yards from scrimage over the last 3 years.

 

We like to bash Cam but he is also responsible for Rays success. He knows how to use him and his offense revolves around him. He created the roles and opportunities for Ray to emerge as a great RB.

Ray is also a true RB in my opinion. Guys like Jamal, Chris Johnson, Brandon Jacobs, Frank Gore, etc. These are big brusing guys that have very little natural running ability. Bettis (am I allowed to say his name) is a good example of a bruiser RB that was also a true RB. Bettis didn't need only his power to get yards. He had vision and natural running instincts.

 

Ray has that Faulk, Tomlinson, Thurman Thomas, shiftyness about him. He doesn't take big hits. He runs to daylight and makes great decisions with the ball. He's a big threat and I expect this year to be one of his best ever.

Chris Johnson isn't a bruiser, it did sound that way. He's a one dimensional speed back. I feel he has little vision. Once his speed is gone he'll quickly be out of the NFL. He doesn't have much vision as a RB. Gore is good, but he's a one way truck, he's not really a RB. For me a RB is elusive and has great vision and instincts. Not that a bruiser isn't needed, but I prefer the Rice types.
