154 yards against the Tampa II on 16 carries at 31 years old.

The guy is producing FAR more then he was in his 20's, even though running backs his age are meant to be on the decline.

This is suspicious. We have Clinton Portis nearly a decade younger unable to maintain the same consistency week after week as a 31 year old who touches the ball and takes more hits then he does.

This is suspicious.
Suspicious, why?
He has stayed healthy, learned how to be patient with blockers, read defenses better etc... He also has a formidable line, a good QB with an arm requiring respect from defenses and a talented group of WR's and TE's.

but he didnt have alot of mileage on his tires early on..

[NYSportsfreak]

Are you including his catches because he didn't even crack 100 yards rushing today. Oh and as DWinzit said, he got smarter. Plus he changed his workout program, got a trainer, or a new trainer.

This is also true. He was prodominately a third down back for years.

[praise_gibbs]

And a big change to how he was...


He no longer fumbles.


(as much anyway)

[Operations]

It's because he's from UVa. So is Thomas Jones. UVa backs are unstoppable, baby!

[Leonard Washington]

i think he studied the game and improved his lower body strength.

the league gives him a gameplan and the other teams HAVE to follow it..by the way he had 68 rushing and 20 recieving...no where near 154

Cause CP is over rated. Look at the numbers. Tiki unlike CP has a rigorous training schedule. Cp pads his numbers by getting so many touches. Look at how mant yards he gets per attempt, or breaking tackles.
