Personally I pick Polly over Davenport in big game situations. Late in the playoffs in big games, Davenport struggled. He was a finesse back no matter who likes it, he liked to get to the outside or hit wide open holes and out run everyone. Polly will bite down on his mouth piece, lower his head and throw himself into people and get those tough yards. But he's more than capable of bouncing it outside as well. What he lacks in speed that Davenport had, he makes up for in toughness and strength.

Backs usually wear down toward seasons end. I take nothing from this Polly kid. He has shown to be tough, but, to say Davenport wasn't tough and lowered the boom when he had to, come on. He used his head as much as his skill. Polly will do good as all featured backs do. We don't have to get into any stat comparisons this year or who is thoughest. As long as he get's his job done and keeps the attitude under control, he'll be another great.

Big game situations. Hmm. Remember Bell vs. Lex. Laf.? Little D took the load there. Let's get on the "pro Bell" instead of who is the best or has been the best. I'm for watching all these kids excel, not who outdid who. Personally, I think your outstanding kids this year will be: (1) Cox. (2) the kid from pathfork that played D,end last year, (sorry, can't think of his name). and (3) the Caldwell kid who I think will get even carries this year. I've watched him every game through grade school and he's bullitt proof.

Davenport is gone. Let's move on. He put up his stats, so let's let the kids use that as a goal to overcome.
