Best running back for 2013

Whoever fumbles less will be the starter!! Not seeing a whole lot of difference in the two just yet! Hope it's one of those deals where there is little to no drop off no matter who is in.

 
I see Marrow taking over for Burkhead as the HB, and Green getting the I-back. Why, because neither Green or Ameer have the size necessary to be a full on every down back. The HB is in reference to his ability to play FB, I back, or a side of the Diamond formation. He will be better equiped to take it inside, block on PA, or be the lead blocker for a QB keeper. I see Green and Ameer as interchangeable, but they both possess amazing skills that an offense that appears to be taking shape will need from the backfield. I hope we see more of those three and a little less of Superman, because hopefully we will be up and his services will no longer be needed in the second half of some early games.

Who will win the starting role in 2013 Aaron " Green Machine" Green or Ameer "The butcher" Abdullah?

I think Green has the better tools. Bigger and stronger and able to withstand more hits at 5'11 190 then Abullah who is 5'9 and around 185.

Abdullah could win because he is lightning fast and if you dont belive me look at the game vs Fresno look at his kick return he also flat out embarresed the guy with that juke he did.

That stuff is pretty good. A little sour though.

 
not sure how Beck will use these guys, maybe we will see a lot of swing passes or some thorwing into space to get these guys into the game.........i dunno, but i hope Beck develops something that works.

Agreed we need to spread the ball around to the talent we have at WR, And RB.

 
Hopefully they can find a nice balance of Burkhead while combining the other backs to take the load off of Rex.

With that being said, I liked Green better than Abdullah when they got carries last year. I know Abdullah had the most carries of the young running backs, but it just looked to me that Green had better vision and looked more natural back there than Ameer did.

I'm not saying Ameer is a bad running back, but to my eyes, I thought Green looked better. I expect one of them, if not both of them, to step up and get involved more this year.

An I-back is a halfback, but a halfback isn't always an I-back.
