Why in the hell did I not hear more about this guy before??? He ran a a legit electronic timed 4.24 40 yard dash at NFL Combine…ridiculous. I’m not a Titan’s fan…but the highlights I’ve seen of this season pretty much give him Rookie Of The Year(sorry Matt Ryan).

Not gonna happen. Matt Ryan is going to run away with ROY, with Flacco in second. No doubt Chris Johnson is good, but the argument can be made that the Titans would still be a decent team without him. Atlanta and Baltimore would be at the bottom of the league without their rookie QBs.
did anyone else know that sam baker stayed and trained at the poliquin center in chicago, where he supposedly put on 40 pounds and dropped body fat in 2 months.

No shit? I thought McClain was a rook. Nice catch.
Being from Boston and all, I hope Matt Ryans wins ROY. I agree with you though, Chris Johnson is amazing, Slaton also. There are just so many great rookies in the league this year it’s insane.

J Stew is a beast as is forte, Johnson is fast and has great field vision, I just hope his smaller frame will hold up for multiple seasons. Anyone see the stiff are J Stew gave Rondi Baber in the monday night game? I mean he decleated barber and put him to the ground like a little kid and he never broke stride, if D williams wasn’t having such a monster year, Stewart would likley be the rookie of the year, whats he averaging? 8-9 yards per carry? Forte has the best hands of any running back I have ever seen. He has not dropped one pass this year that was thrown to him on target. Also he runs pretty good too.

Best hands of any RB?
That would be Marshall Faulk. And Brian Westbrook is probably the best playing right now.
But you are on the right track, Forte is an awesome receiver for a RB. The Bears had the steal of the draft getting a talent like that in rd 2. It still pisses me off Pittsburgh didn’t get him.
Yeah Johnson has been a beast for my fantasy team. However, I’m in the fantasy superbowl this weekend thanks in part to Chris Johnson, but I’m not sure how much hes going to play against Indy knowing they have home field locked up. Anyone on the TEN beat hear anything please fill me in.
Its been a great rookie class, Ryan and Flacco at QB, Slaton and Johnson at RB, Eddie Royal has had a monster year for a rookie WR.
Lets go Broncos get that win against the Chargers Sunday night!

Forte has good hands for a rookie RB. Best RB hands ever…I would give the nod to Faulk. Despite having a crappy year(damn you,Norv Turner!),LaDainian Tomlinson has to be mentioned as well. I like Westbrook,but I wish he was more durable.

Haha, the Broncos are basically giving the division away to the Chargers. They don’t deserve to go after that collapse.

Tomlison definately does have good hands. He had a season about 5 years ago or so where he had 100 receptions out of the backfield. That was back when the Chargers weren’t good.

Is it just me or does any one else ever think to them selves, “Man Andy Reid is an idiot. If The Eagles had a viable 2nd back Westbrook would be even better b/c he would be hurt all the time from touching the ball 40 times a game.” I havent been able to watch an Eagles game for 2 or 3 year now and not have this run through my head.

It’ll be next to impossible to uncover any meaningful prior to gametime because coaches have little reason to be forthcoming about their plans for the week. And it is for this very reason that all legit fantasy leagues – without exception – play their championships in week 16.
