    DD beat out Teaux to start the season last year but I think the idea was to get them both equal carries. Teaux was the starter earlier in his career but I think the combination of injuries setting him back and DD putting on about 15-20 lbs over his 4 yrs made DD the better back by his senior year.

    I think Teaux definitely has the body and skills to be an NFL starter. I keep thinking Fred Taylor will get hurt sooner or later. Teaux may want to "absorb" hits rather than dish them out. I think that got him in trouble a couple of times at LSU. Although Teaux usually gave out more punishment, it's not something you want to do on a regular basis. Injuries like the one against ULL are bound to happen.


    TitanTiger, So you have your starting RBs from Bama & LSU and you got rid of the Auburn Tiger? Didn't Moulds go to Miss St? I thought I was wierd for having my best players from Bama, Auburn, & Southern Miss (Favre). I think Drew Bennett is out for awhile.

    Yeah, I dropped him and picked up McCareins to replace him. I know it's weird. In any other league, I wouldn't have given up Stephen for anything. He's a beast. But the commish is a Rams fan and WAY overemphasized receiving. Go figure.

    DD and Toe = Vincent / Carey and Broussard / Addai ?

    These are 6 good backs who would start for any team in the country. LSU = Running Back U !
