Maybe--haven't seen MJD run a lot but I'm pretty sure Michael Turner is much bigger, probably by 30-40 lbs more.

Wow, there's about 20-25 lbs difference, you're right. I didn't think it would be so much. I guess Drew being only 5'7" fooled me on his weight. His thighs are as big as any RB in the game.

All these teams need a running back, and I think all these teams SHOULD be interested. Michael Turner is the real deal IMO, though I thought the same thing about Lamont Jordan. Jordan hasn't been anything special since he left the Jets, at the same time, the Oakland Raiders offensive line is trash,

Westbrook and Buckhalter are a good 1-2 punch and Chester Taylor has been very good for Minnesota. The Giants may be interested but Brandon Jacobs looks like he could be an every down back and Ahman Green is playing as well as anybody could expect on that Packers offense.

MJ-D doesn't need to be as big because with his low center of gravity he's already as powerful. That guy is very hard to tackle.

No doubt. He's become my favorite rookie to watch, well maybe 2nd... Bush is pretty darn exciting to say the least.
I just like to watch RB's like Drew more than the Bush type.

Yeah--Michael's a big....

Similar to LaDainian, not a lot of people realize how BIG the dude is. He weighs in at 225, he doesnt look like it, but dude is BIG.
