i would not want to be a safety if he gets past the linebackers . that would hurt for a few days .

Safety? I wouldn't want to be a LB.

A lot has to be attributed to a top 3 run-blocking offensive line IMO. Not saying Jacobs isn't talented but when guys like Ward and Bradshaw are looking good as well I can't give Jacobs full credit I guess.

I know what you are saying Jake with the NY OL but he's as strong as an ox and fast for that size, tough to take down ...plus when it's 4th and 1 he's about 95% to make it.

Very true. I've been higher than almost anyone I know on him and think he's an elite back but it's hard to take him over LT and Peterson IMO. He's definitely top 5 as far as I'm concerned and injuries because of his bruising style are the only thing holding him back.

Earl is a smurf compared to this animal (size wise) Id take Campbell skill wise anyday though

Is this a vote for Adrian Peterson in code?

Not sure what that means but "Skol, Vikings" is Minnesota's song.

Earl used to do a tv commercial for Skol chewing tbac -- at the end he walks off camera saying "Skol brother!"

I think confusion might be that it's Skoal.
