[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 19491, member: 923"] Thanks for the correction "Dwyer". I have no issue with Sims in particular. He has done a good job for the B-Back position pushed on him, but I believe he would have been much better and more explosive at A-Back. To me, he is a tweener at B-Back. I prefer the bigger backs for this position even though they may not be quite as fast when they break through the line, but they are generally harder to hold to just a few yards. The bigger B-Backs begin to punish the linebackers and make themselves more dangerous to the middle of the defense. The B-Backs should be punishing the middle of the defense. I think Drummond was taken out of the B-Back competition because he was not fast enough to take it to the house on a frequency which PJ wanted. However, I believe he would have been effective with his toughness and extra weight. I don't think Days would have fumbled anymore at the B-Back position than catching the lateral on the sweep or option. I think Days is a very strong back and is a tough back. Sims also appears to have good hands for catching passes and may have proven to be a better asset at A-Back. We all have our opinions, but these are mine.
