Buck Allen vs Duke Johnson

[WOW!!]

Buck has the size speed and hands to be a 3 down back..

Duke is a scat back imo...

So I go Buck all day..

Duke's durability really concerns me. I've had enough with RB's who can't stay on the field and it always seems like Duke has something going on.

[CatalystNX]

I prefer Mike Davis to Buck Allen, but Duke Johnson is going to be a beast in the NFL.

[WOW!!]

My opinion again. . And the write up on him by NFL.com is pretty much describing a scat back...

So I'm glad you like the guy but my opinion is my opinion. .

Fozzy gets no love around here. I distinctly remember Getts telling DLo he was getting cut because we aren't planning on running as much.

plus we have Darrin Reaves.

Not that I think we couldn't use another RB for backup, but after watching FOZ running North South and catching a pass out of the backfield for a score, the answer is definitely on the roster.

[WOW!!]

You mean the same write up that had declared Gio Bernard as a scatback too? Again, just because he's undersized doesn't mean he's a scatback.

Which he is since Hill is their main RB..

If Gio was a full-time back the Bengals probably wouldn't have drafted Hill the next year..

I'm sorry words like

Not a good blocker

avoids inside running

Durability maybe a issue

Best used in a commitee

doesn't mean anything to you.. But they do to me..

[arbnranger]

Those are some manly sounding names.

HA! Was thinking the same thing.

In the manly-name draft board they are projected much higher than Gurley.

[CatalystNX]

Just because a back can catch doesn't automatically make him a just a scat back.

[LUUUUUKE]

For those of you not in the know, Duke Johnson is highly regarded as one of, if not, the best RBs at The ||_||

We're not talking about slouch RBs either, we're talking Willis McGahee, Lamar Miller, Frank Gore, Clinton Portis and Edgerrin James. Those are just the recent guys too, without reaching back too far. For former RBs to say that this kid has the potential to be the best out of the bunch speaks volumes.

I personally can't see any RB be as durable as Gore. That guy is an aberration.

For those of you calling Duke Johnson a scat back, have you ever watched him play? A "scat back" doesn't set a school rushing yard record by dancing around bros. He runs with an attitude and he is not to be denied. He's 5'9" and weighs 210. That's a stout dude right?

You want a real pro comparison? You're gonna laugh though. DeAngelo Williams.

Williams is 5'9" 215 and ran a 4.44, Johnson ran the same today and is 5 lbs lighter.

Wait, you may be saying, you mean we can draft Williams' replacement, our Franchise's leading rusher in this years draft? Unlike Williams who was selected in the 1st rnd.

It's too good to be true right? get rid of an aging Williams, and offload that contract, and get a fresh version of him. He's got Williams' quickness with Stews nasty get the fug off me attitude. That's the best way I can put it. He's also been getting Leshawn McCoy comparisons as well.

As for the other guy Panthro, I couldn't tell you much. Whoever drafts this guy will be set at the position for years to come. He's a star

Edit: one more thing, he ran all those yds with 8 in the box knowing he was running it. I don't know if you know or not, but Miami hasn't had a real QB in quite some time until this year. Duke Johnson pretty much was our offense.

[WOW!!]

Some of you are really going to look foolish when he goes against really big and fast Men and shows he's not a 3down back in the NFL..

[WOW!!]

Buck Allen is bigger, stronger, just as fast, is a better Wr coming out the backfield and is a better pass blocker. .

But we all will find out soon enough. .

[Swaggasaurus]

Duke Johnson all the way. One cut runner, wants to go north as soon as he has daylight. None of that dancing behind the line stuff. duke would be great pick. Allen runs too high

[LUUUUUKE]

Some of you are really going to look foolish when he goes against really big and fast Men and shows he's not a 3down back in the NFL..

Is Stewart not a 3rd down back either? How about Williams? McCoy? How about Demarco Murray, is he a 3rd down back?

Be careful as to how you respond, because all those backs are the same height and within 10 lbs of another.

I really hate it when people "act" like they know what they're talking about, and they don't. On the other hand, I know nothing about Buck other than he's out of USC. I could read a scouting report on him but why bother? A scouting report doesn't tell you what your eyes have seen following a player for 3 years. I digress
