I have a feeling it's going to depend on need, and who's healthy. Brown is more like McCoy in how he runs, imo... while FredEx and Boobie are more the bruiser/tough yard guys, especially since Fred has been focusing on strength the last couple of seasons.

The 3rd back is between Jackson and Boobie. Time to move on man. I am guessing this Fred Jackson's Buffalo farewell tour this year.

People keep saying that, and mathematically, looking at his age, it makes sense. But there's no proof on the field that he's slowing down. Not saying he's gonna last forever, but he has atleast 2-3 years left.

I think he is showing some signs, the problem with most running backs though , is that sometimes there is a pretty sudden drop off. It could happen this summer. This will likely be his last season. But he is special, I wouldn't count him out.

I agree we need the insurance just in case that happens, and he has slightly dropped. But dudes still a beast with atleast two years left. Plus what he provides the locker room is invaluable.

Buffalo Joe, i respectfully disagree. i love Fred as most of us do. I love his leadership. My only jersey I've ever owned in 47 years is Fred's. With that said, he looked slower last year. He just didn't have that burst he's had in the past. You can postulate a RB best friend is Guards as they create cut back lanes, so I'll give you that as we know we had the worst Guards in football outside of the Bucs. I just see Fred having his swan song this year, goes out with pride, and on top. I see him announcing his retirement, and if we win that last game, I see his teammates carrying him off on their shoulders as they should leaving like "Rudy".

 

I hope that's the way it ends and he retires vs. keeps fighting. If we get Lupatti, and with Incognito, we end up having a much better running game, and it wasn't him, great, but I doubt it.

McCoy and Fred as it stands. Although I'm hoping they draft a guy in the 3rd. I don't think Boobie should be carrying the ball unless it's short yardage. Brown hasn't shown anything as of yet to even be on the team unfortunately

Boobie has already played in a Greg Roman offense, and he basically played FB. So I think it'll shake out as 1. McCoy 2. Jackson 3. Brown. But really it'll be more like 2a and 2b, keeping Freddy rested for the long haul of a season and the playoffs!
