No Johnson.

No Johnson.

they said over and over again on espn during one of his games that he runs a 4.3

theres some sites like this that claim a 4.55

and others like this that claim a 4.3

this looks like one of those things like jennings, where everybody was just guessing numbers and had no clue what the real numbers were

we'll have to wait for the combine

but he looks pretty damn fast to me, faster then 4.5

Nice TD run by AP.

I'd rather have Johnson than Peterson, easily.

I think we get the freaking Iowa State game. This sucks, I wanted to see the Oregon game.

[justanotherpackfan]

Wow, Iowa State's offense sucks. Can they make this game even a little competitive.

No. The bad part is, our offense was supposed to be our strength. Meyer was being hailed as the best QB in the Big 12 in a couple of preseason rankings. Honestly, I expected Nebraska to rack up 800 yards of offense on us (again). If you'd have told me they'd be held to under 200 yards passing and 28 points, I'd have shit myself. Our pass D is the worst in the Big 12.

I want to know how a team allows 250 rushing yards at home to a team running the West Coast offense.

Although, I'm sure watching that Oregon-Cal game might have been a little more painful for you.

Justanotherpackfan,

If you are an Oregon Ducks fan, count your blessings that you did not see the Oregon game!

Cal outplayed the Ducks in virtually every facet of football--running, passing, tackling, quickness, etc.

The Ducks helped them along with 3 interceptions and 1 fumble.

The game was lost in the very first play from scrimmage. Ducks' QB threw an interception from his own 15 yard line. Cal returned it to the 5 and scored a couple of plays later.

It was an embarrasing loss for the Ducks.

I think Peterson is too tall, I like the shorter backs. Taller backs tend to run to straight up take too many hits.

ya, well, I sure liked the look of Jackson today.

Herron had a nice game, but I get the feeling if the Packers would have had a fast back today they would have stomped the Rams. Swap Herron for Jackson and the PAckers win by 2 touchdowns.

Jackson is much heavier than Peterson and is very rare in that his ruuning style hasn't gotten him in trouble.

thats what ive been thinking about that pick lately...

i like this michael turner kid who's backing up in san diego... looking really good tonight in LT spells... i think he's going to be a free agent this year and cant see the chargers being able to keep him.

maybe we can grab him, draft CJ, pick a CB in the second and maybe bring in a nate clements. super bowl probably. 16-0.

[MJZiggy]

Why can't San Diego keep Turner?

[b bulldog]

Jackson is now in the 235 range and I think Peterson is around 215-220
