Beerball Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 He's the Yahoo!.com NFL writer who broke the Reggie Bush violations story a couple of years ago. Worked at the Freep for a while before that. Holmes had two 100-yard games, almost exactly a season apart. So he specializes in running backs?

For what it's worth, I don't expect Freddie to have many 100 yard games, playing along side Marshawn. But, a great #2 back doesn't have to put up huge rushing numbers to make a huge impact.

ConradDobler Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 #40 Robb Riddick, you knuckle draggers. He was the prototype number two back. Career ruined by a Seattle cheap shot in a pre season game. Seattle sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I was thinking more like Thurman and Darick Holmes, FJ has not become a great blitz pick up player yet. Hopefully they both will have 100 yard games soon like Thurman and Darick Holmes did. he has more talent than darick holmes had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDG Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yes: Darick Holmes-122 and Thurman Thomas-107 vs. Was (11/3/96) Darrick Holmes had an amazing run in that game in which it seemed like he carried half the Washington defense down the field with him.... I hope its on YouTube somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they both will have 100 yard games soon like Thurman and Darick Holmes did. They already did that against Miami last year. I assume you meant do it again though, not trying to be a jagoff here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChimp Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Sorry, didn't see the link. Was expecting it in the actual post that started the thread. Guess it got lost in the two-page conversation you all were having about, well, not the article. Thanks for re-posting it. EDIT: Actually, WTF did you tell me to read the article for? What a waste of time this last ten minutes was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradDobler Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It really means something, coming from Conrad Dobler. Judge me as you will. I'm not CD, but I admire the mans' competitive spirit. As far as Robb Riddick goes, he was a first down/touchdown machine. See his 4 TD game against Miami in 1987. Kenny Davis was good, but he was no Robb. Mr. Riddick deserved better than that shot in the knee in a friggen preseason game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think Freddy is great. But, how is he like Michael Turner? Both are good, but they seem like two different kinds of backs, to me. I think the point is that he is a RB that could be a starter on another team. I don't think he was comparing them as backs. #40 Robb Riddick, you knuckle draggers. He was the prototype number two back. Career ruined by a Seattle cheap shot in a pre season game. Seattle sucks. Riddick was awesome. I remember him jumping over the pile at the endzone to make TD's. Great fun to watch!! Here are Holmes' stats Here are Davis' stats I think VOR is right. Davis was the better back. He would come in when Thurman decided he needed a break and I don't remember much of a letdown in production during the game when he was in.
