What do the Skins need to do to stop Felix Sunday?
Barber is a good back, but this whole "runs harder than anyone" is just garbage. He's the flavor of the month for the media. He ran pretty hard for under 50 yds on Sunday. Not sure how old you are so you may not have seen some of these guys but, there are MANY backs who ran MUCH harder than Barber: Earl Campbell, Franco Harris, Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Larry Brown, Larry Czonka, Jerome Bettis, and lest we not forget John Riggins.

Here are current backs who run just as hard if not harder: Brandon Jacobs, LT, Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, Stephen Jackson.
