[QUOTE="porky88, post: 139063, member: 489"] Who are these teams? The Browns and Raiders are two teams you named above. Both teams suffered through injuries to their top backs. Do you really factor in that and include teams using multiple running backs due to injuries? If so it seems very flawed. As of last season Denver, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Jacksonville, New England, Carolina, Dallas, NYJ, Chicago, and you can argue Atlanta with Vick and Dunn all used two back systems. Out of those teams only the Falcons finished with a losing record. I hardly call that a coincidence in my opinion. Are you telling me that out of the remaining 20 teams half of them use 2 back systems? Kansas City, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Green Bay, Tennessee, Arizona, Tampa Bay, Miami, San Diego, St. Louis, NYG, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Buffalo all used primary one running back. You can argue the Giants used two but I think we agree that most of Jacobs carries came inside the 10. Detroit, Oakland, Seattle, Washington and Cleveland all had injuries to their top back that forced them to use multiple replacements. Houston is really the only bad team that used a two back system last year and you can argue that their primary runner was hurt as well as Dominick Davis was on IR all year. You can say it hasn’t worked in the past and I’m sure it hasn’t. Not everything is 100% guaranteed in professional sports and I’d be a fool to tell you that a two back system equals automatic success but as of late the two back system has helped a lot of teams obtain success and that shouldn’t be ignored in my opinion.
