He runs hard, falls forward, gets positive yards and is a load to bring down.

He seems to have a decent nose for the endzone (when we get near it).

His work ethic is good.

He does it all behind a very bad Oline.

Sounds like what we had before Willis.

Most importantly, the amount of production he gives us for such a low cap number is fantastic.

I LOVE the way this guy runs.

He doesn't dance...he goes North and South.

They should use both Willis & ATrain in heavy doses when McGahee comes back

I agree, I think it would be a good 1,2 punch and on third down I think A-train is the better back

A-Train is a between the tackles runner, and Willis "should" be able to utilize and abuse the outside of the field.

We shall see about Willis.

Wow, get a grip guys.. The Colt's run defense is horrible. Once, we see A-Train go up against a more worthy defense, then I will be more than happy to label him Willis's replacement. Until then, its really hard to tell..

I think the Henry comparison is pretty fair.

Against elite D's Henry always had trouble. I don't expect A-Train to run for 100 against the top D's in the NFL

While I agree that Willis is overated but I want him back in the lineup. Keep both RBS fresh and run the f out of the ball.

I think he's going to want LT/Alexander type money. He isn't worth that.

It isn't about production, it's about production per cap dollar.

triple option with A-train as the up back and Willis as the pitch man!

Sure. Why not put Shelton back there instead of JP while your at it?

Test it in Madden and let us know how it goes.

apparently the concept of sarcasm is lost on some people....

however, that being said, at one point last year Mularkey did run an option play. And this offense has reached desperation status yet again, so who knows?
