Buck Allen vs Duke Johnson

[WOW!!]

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

I know body built doesn't mean poo to you...

So I'm not going to waste my time explaining the different body prototypes..

I'll just let reality hit you when Duke is backing up another RB his whole career..

[LUUUUUKE]

Same height/weight of several players doesn't equal the same body type?

Good night Sir

No it doesn't genius..

Words like

Compact

Long

Thickness

Slim

Are body type differences..

Can you honestly look at Stewart and Duke Johnson and think they are built the same? ?

Johnson. Just the overall more talented back.

My choice would be Buck Allen because we have a Fozzy and we have a Stewart.  Buck is not the same back as either of these and provides a home run thread anytime he gets through the line.  His vision and change of direction, along with his speed are pretty impressive.  Duke is a good back also.

Duke would be the best compliment to Stewart. I don't know how good he is at picking up the blitz, though, and that's got to be a big factor in our choice of an RB.

Another one of my Canes, this kid can play he is a threat to take it to the house everytime he touches the ball. he is going to have to put on some weight but he reminds me alot of Giovani Bernard or a poor mans Mccoy.

I'd pick Johnson of the two.  Also like what I've seen of Mike Davis, would put him higher than Allen.

My opinion on the whole RB class this year:  we have the 1st tier pair Gurley and Gordon (round 1).  The 2nd tier pair of Abdullah and Ajayi (round 2).  Then the 3rd tier group of Johnson, Davis, Allen, Coleman, Yeldon and Langford (round 3+).  All groupings ordered by my preference.

Thread about X vs Y

 

2 of first 3 posts talked about players that are not X or Y

 

Never change huddle....never change.

Duuuuke! If the kid could've stayed healthy the last 2 years. He'd be the most hype prospect coming out of the U this year

Buck Allen because I want the Buck Rogers theme music played when he is announced

I believe Buck Allen has more of a chance to be an every down back compared to Duke Johnson who seems to be more of a change of pace/ 3rd down back. Johnson has had injury issues but I believe he has a higher ceiling than Allen. Allen has only had one good season which could be bad but could be good because he has less miles compared to Johnson who is Miami's all time rusher.

Here is NFL.coms info on the two so you can make your own opinion on the two.
