Hossage Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I came across some Dave Megget highlights, and I still have an old Eric Metcalf poster. It got me thinking. Marshall Faulk? I saw Spiller standing next to Drayton Florence, and Florence was a bigger man at the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 He was compared to Faulk. Today's players he is like Chris Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I used to enjoy Bo's commercials and watching him play, what an amazingly gifted athlete. Bo, "you don't know Diddley" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Transplant Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If he turns out to be like Marshall Faulk or Chris Johnson, I will be very pleased that we drafted him. Faulk in his prime was the best all around back in the NFL and Johnson's numbers the last couple of years have been crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Spiller standing next to Drayton Florence, and Florence was a bigger man at the same height. At this point he resembles every other hyped up rookie who hasn't even played in a game yet. So I guess he resembles, Chris Johnson, Kijana Carter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoobydum Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 He looks like a blend of Chris's running ability with Marshall's ability to come out the backfield. I would expect because of the 3 pronged attack to be a multi-use package including reverses, which you rarely seen MF run. Just get him the damn ball.

sllib olaffub Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My son and I were talking about that the other day - he's 10 yrs old and plays Madden and wanted to know how Spiller would compare to the other backs in the league - "Will he be the best?" he asks. I told him he's like a mix between Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson... he's bigger than Johnson, but might not be as quick, although he's not far behind, and he's much quicker than Peterson, though not as strong. But, Marshall Faulk was often used as a WR - and I think we'll see that a lot with Spiller. And, that reminds me of Thurman Thomas. He, too, was used as a WR, or the screens out of the backfield. I know the games have yet to prove everything, but I think Spiller will prove to be much stronger, and more capable of going up the middle and of being an every down, and an all around back, than people are now giving him credit for.

Hossage Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 I dont think he is bigger than Johnson. I doubt spiller is an honest 200 pounds. I dont think he is as thick as Thurman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Spillar seems to resemble Ray Rice the most, or at least that is how I expect them to use him mostly. Especially in this system with 3 good RBs. Rice is mostly used to throw screens to, which is where he does his most damage. I am thinking spillar is going to be our Ray Rice in our 3 headed monster. But that is all premature, because we have no idea how he will look or be used and how much until gameday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
