    It seems to me that Deshaun Foster has a strange way of running. I can't put my finger on it maybe he runs to high. In the open field he seems hard for one person to bring down, yet inside he seems to almost fall down if there's contact. I like the guy and feel he has provided some exciting runs but he is injury prone and has never been the 1200 yard back we need. On the other hand we have DeAnglo Williams who I would like to do better. That is all.

    Foster carries the ball away from his body too much for my liking. Even though he does not fumble a whole lot I keep thinking he is going to every time he carries it. Williams was supposed to be a the new stud but he has not really shown that kind of ability yet. Maybe he will.

    Twice in two games this season is reason for him to change something.

    He does fumble too often, especially for a team that (allegedly)preaches ball control. If he wants to last longer as a starting running back, he needs to make it a priority like Tiki Barber did towards the end of his career.


    and madmike, DeAngelo is having a similar problem, even though his fumbles are due less to carelessness and more to great shots by defenders. I still think DeShaun is the better option at this point.
