Not to mention the D-line and secondary "attitude" when they never know if it's a run or a pass.
What I'm saying is that a certain type of running back - which we currently miss - is useful to a team even when he's not even handed the ball.
In this regard, I believe Thompson might the RB currently on the roster who deserves being watched a little closer by defenses because IF he somehow manages to get past the linebackers chances are he's gone.
I agree it's way too early to evaluate any of the new RB's though.

I don't disagree with any of this. I was impressed by what I saw from Damien last year, but I also have high hopes for Darwin in this offense.
