I think next years running backs will look like this
Rb 1 Brandon Jacobs- obvious choice, he averaged 5 yards a carry and had a 1000 yard season despite missing time with injuries, which is something everyone worries about with him.
Rb 2 Derrick Ward- Ward stepped in and played beautifully, after the retirement of Tiki Barber and the injury to Jacobs, he got injured himself though which is probably why he is still with the giants, and he didn't get big money in free agency.
3rd Down Back Ahmad Bradshaw- Bradshaw who is still in jail right now in Virginia from breaking probation from one of his other offences, played great last year in the post season, and at the end of the year, playing running back, and even returning a few kick-offs until Domenik Hixon earned the returner job. Hopefully he will get out of jail, and back on to the field before preseason.
Full Back Madison Hedgecock- Madison played great after an injury to Jim Finn left a whole in the roster that he filled beautifully, arguably playing better than Finn did.
Notables left out- Rueben Droughns- I don't think there is any room on the roster for him, and i don't think he did good enough last year to stay on the roster.
That is it for the Running Backs, it seams like a great group of 3, and any one could be a starter on another team, and a good FB to block for them. The only problem is who to give the ball to. And also it will be almost impossible for any to make the Pro Bowl, because they will have to share the ball.
Up Next Wide Receivers, that will be interesting because of all the talent and depth the giants have at the position.
