The running back position is the one position the field that REALLY doesn't get better with age.

Ryan Torain
Keiland Williams
Evan Royster
Roy Helu
James Davis
Chad Simpson
Andre Brown
Shawnbrey McNeal

Between ALL THOSE CHOICES, PLUS undrafted free agents, we should find one running back that's able to start.

Helu ran 4.42 at the Combine and shows that speed on the field. And, as Arian Foster proved you don't need to be the fastest running back in the world to be successful in this scheme. I just want a guy who moves the chains in a positive matter, gets us first downs, and kind grind out the yardage late in games.

"Breakaway" speed be damned, I'd settle for one running back that can stay healthy for sixteen games.
