Team Changes RB

Qb changes was pretty straight forward. I didn't list all the rookies bc I know that the starters like Brees and Rodgers and Brady they just don't be benched, even by a rookie, unless the team tanks or they get injured. Running back is a whole new beast. Runningbacks get spelled by a backup in games. Injuries are more likely with a RB than a QB so the depth on the team is deeper. Sometimes teams just enjoy having a guy who is a different type of back. A power guy complimented with a speed back etc.

So, I am going to start at the top of last year and work my way to the bottom. My discretion. If you feel that there should be a RB on this list that I didnt address then scream at me. Also of note I am only going through the running backs that are changing teams or being added to the new teams. So Adriand Peterson is still a Viking and Arian Foster is still a Texan. I don't care about them in this post.

1. Reggie Bush went from the Dolphins to the Lions. Dolphins are left with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas.

2. Shonn Greene went from the Jets to the Titans to form a compliment with Chris Johnson. Jets are left with uhhh hmmmm ehhh Belial Powell and Chris Ivory and Joe McKnight. Don't get excited Jest fans. You have Sanchez not throwing to Dustin Keller (he left for the Dolphins) Uhhh sorry. I am rambling. I just really think the Jets are gonna crash this year. No survivors.

3. Steven Jackson went from the Rams to the Falcons to replace Michael Turner who is now a Free Agent. Rams are left with Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead.

4. Ahmad Bradshaw is still a Free Agent is I am not mistaken. Giants are left with David Wilson and Andre Brown.

5. Danny Woodhead went from the Patriots to the Chargers to compete with the eventual void that Ryan Matthews will create when he breaks *throws dart* his spleen. Eww sounds painful. As Jason Witten.

6. Cardinals went with Rashard Mendenhall from the Steelers and Beanie Wells is a free agent, but the Steelers had shown some interest.

7. Justin Forsett went to the Jaguars from Texans. Yea, being 3rd RB behind Foster and Tate will make you want to leave but to Jacksonville? No thank you.

---------> Now the Rookies.

Bengals, Broncos, and Packers ... ehh Ill include the Steelers too picked up some notable guys who might be able to make a difference in their first year.

1. Giovani Bernard to the Bengals. To back up the Law Firm - Benjarvus Green Ellis

2. Steelers got Le'Veon Bell to add to their stable of Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman, and Batch.

3. Move over Willis McGahee! Montee Ball is in Mile High now. Knowshon Moreno sucks. He should be 3rd string.

4. Packers got Eddie Lacy and Jonathan Franklin to add to Alex Green and James Starks. Boy is it gonna be a crowded committee in Green Bay.

If you feel that Christine Michael or Knile Davis belong in the convo then tell me. I'll listen.
