You are correct all you need is "quick twitch" as a running back and he has IT! Sure, it would be great if he had real long speed, but it's not essential. [Reply]

Keep them both fresh and use the 1-2 punch to beat the snot out of the opposing defense every once in awhile and keep the bad guys guessing who they have to worry about.
I can also see him taking the smash-mouth closer role….up 10 points in the 4th quarter. He would brutalize a tired defense and keep Pacheco fresh. [Reply]
