And, I must say, a backfield that will be there for more than 4 years.

Yes, I am saying that. You don't have to look outside of our orginization to see that great CB's are extremely hard to come by, and good ones are hard to find too. RB's are often a product of their line (see Denver for the past decade). Look at Emmitt Smith, there is no way in hell he was ever as good as Payton, or Sanders, or LT, and most everyone in the top 10 in rushing, but he has the most yards ever...why? O-LINE!

Denver has been very intelligent the way they have let their RB stars go! WHy not when you can always find someone to duplicate his numbers?
