Re: Jonathan Vilma Breaks Down The AFC East Running Backs
Not a whole lot. Just says he's a big, shifty back that hits the holes quickly and is often able to make the first person miss. First RB they talked about was Willis, then Ronnie Brown, then Corey Dillon.

Re: Jonathan Vilma Breaks Down The AFC East Running Backs
McGahee and Brown are very different players in my opinion. Even from what little I saw of Brown last year, he does possess one ability that Willis lacks. Speed. This kid can take it to the house. He is a threat to go the distance very time he touches the ball. On the other hand, he does not have the size and power that McGahee has. Is he tough enough and can he block well enough to be an every down back or is he more of a Warrick Dunn type player? It is really tough to compare those two. One thing I will say about McGahee is that I believe the best is yet to come. I'd love to see what he could do behind a solid group of linemen.

Re: Jonathan Vilma Breaks Down The AFC East Running Backs
I'm always amazed when WIllis moves the pile, just won't give up until he gets that extra yard or two, great effort. One could wonder how much better he could be if the knee injury never happened, but on the other side maybe the injury is what has motivated him that much more to be the 'back he is today.
With Ronnie Brown, I really like his attitude--very positive, very humble. As far as his play, I'm a big fan of his ability to catch in the backfield and just take off--hopefully that will be utilized more in the upcoming seasons. I was also impressed with his ability to pick up the blitz, especially when it took a while for the o-line to gel.

Re: Jonathan Vilma Breaks Down The AFC East Running Backs
This is an amusing thread...all this talk about backs in the afc east and you leave out the best one Curtis Martin. Quite possibly the most underrated, unappreciated back in NFL history. All he does is go out and rush for over a 1000 years every year and lead the NFL in rushing 2 years ago.
Priceless!
