vmax Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Ravens have the #1 backfield according to SI... Picking the NFL’s top running backs? A relatively easy proposition. Start with Adrian Peterson, add in clear-cut stars like Ray Rice, Doug Martin, Arian Foster and it doesn’t take long to split the best from the rest.Figuring out where each team’s overall backfield ranks is a little trickier proposition.How do you weigh a team with an upper-echelon lead back and a depleted depth chart behind him? Or how about the teams with two or three solid backs but no real unstoppable talents? Oh, and what to do with the fullbacks?The rankings here try to take into account everything the 32 NFL backfields have to offer, in order to determine the top combos. Have at it: Tier 11. Baltimore Ravens (Ray Rice, Bernard Pierce; FB Vonta Leach)2. Houston Texans (Arian Foster, Ben Tate; FB Greg Jones)3. Minnesota Vikings (Adrian Peterson, Toby Gerhart; FB Jerome Felton)4. Seattle Seahawks (Marshawn Lynch, Christine Michael, Robert Turbin; FB Michael Robinson)5. San Francisco 49ers (Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, LaMichael James; FB Bruce Miller)6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Doug Martin, Brian Leonard; FB Erik Lorig)http://nfl.si.com/2013/08/28/best-nfl-backfields-adrian-peterson-ray-rice/?sct=nfl_t1t_a1 They got it right! Quote
Oldschool739 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I would say; Baltimore Minny Seattle SF Houston TB AP couldn't be lower than 2, if he was backed up by Granny Clampett.... SB CHAMPS !!!! Quote
