Who Will Make NFL's Best RB Tandem in 2012?

Easy, Arian Foster and Ben Tate. All Houston does is run the one-cut inside zone and their O-Line is very good at opening the holes and getting to the 2nd level. We used to do the same thing when CJ went for 2K. Honestly wish we'd get back to it.

 

I'm not gonna pretend that it's not Foster and Tate just because I'm a Titans fan. It is. Both guys could be starting for almost every team in the league.

 

I can agree partially with the sleeping part, but there are two things that can prevent them from being slowed down and one of those is their O-Line play. Again one of the best run blocking teams in the league. And the other thing is the return on Matt Schaub. Can't load the box up with 8 guys because they'll torch you down the field.

 

Charles and Hillis will do well if Jamal stays healthy.

 

Trent and Steven for the Rams.

 

I say Foster and Tate. Fortunately, great RB teams don't often go far in the playoffs anymore. It's a passing league, and the QB position is the one that truly matters anymore on offense. Running backs are a dime a dozen.


Foster and Tate are probably the best tandem, but I'd still take Ray Rice over both of them.

Didn't Foster lead the league in rushing in 2010? I know that Tate was hurt, but they were still effective at running the ball. They got more yards in 2011, but they were also better on defense and Schaub was out for a large part of the season.

I can't imagine any team sleeping on the Texans run game going into last season.
