Default Which RB emerges as "The Man" this year?

assuming the RB corps is ahman green, chris brown, chris taylor and steve slaton. walker gets mention because of the injury factor...and because he didn't look terrible last year during his time.

who sets himself up to be the guy? the #1 option. i think it's going to be chris taylor, although i wouldn't think he would do it in an overwhelming fashion.

i think ahman is too old, had too many injuries, and just can't keep himself healthy enough to take the pounding. he may give us a good game or two but i can't see him doing any more than he did last year. i think chris brown starts out well and shows his injury-prone reputation to be all too true. slaton is the uppercut, the knock-out, the homerun, the compliment to a #1, the change-up so i don't think his role ever will be "the man". walker may find time if the injuries get out of control again but i think this years' leading texan rusher is chris taylor. he's got good size (met him in person, he's ripped), quicks, the right mindset/running style for gibbs' system and all the oppurtunity in the world to be the next big thing. he may not rush for 1000 yards this season but i bet we see something special. i hope so anyway, cuz if not then this whole post makes me look silly!!!

I have to go with Green. He is the #1 back on the roster, and if healthy he should break 1k easy. I also have to hope and believe that Green is healty and can produce. The team has spent a ton of money on him and it would be nice to see some dividends from that investment.

I say Chris Turner will be at the top of the heap.

No doubt it will be Green.......for part of the year until he gets hurt. He just won't stay healthy at this point in his career. I honestly feel Brown will be the regular when that happens.

I'm hoping it will be Taylor with Slaton emerging as a third-down back. I don't think this is how it will turn out though.

I am hoping it will be either old man Green, or if not him then young Chris Taylor. Why not Chris Brown? From what I have read on the Titan's board, he is too fragile, calling him the "glassman"!
