Im sure other region 1 backs like Bosch, Thiegles, Zirnhelt, Olsen, Belmore and Lenzen could get close to or above his stats averaging that many carries a game. These players share snaps, Griffith gets all of them.

I don't think anyone was saying Griffith was better because of his stats.

Thats no what i was trying to say at all, if it was interpreted that way. I think he is a better back

Leonard Richotte from Four Winds has to be mentioned in this category. The thing that stands out most when I saw him run the ball, is the combination of his power and will. Sure, he has some speed and vision to spot the running lanes, but his will to keep driving his feet until that whistle blows is something else. He almost never falls backwards when hes getting tackled. When he knows hes going down, he doesn't just run out of bounds... he lowers his pads and gets that extra yard or two. To say his O-line is inconsistent would be an huge understatement. It seems like more times than not, hes getting hit in the backfield, but finds a way to make something out of nothing.

Bryan Dye- Surrey... Before the game against Kenmare 1458 yards, 17 touchdowns on 137 carries.... While only playing the first half against TGU and the first quarter against Four Winds which he had 5 touchdowns in.

Emmel and Dale from Shiloh are a good 1-2 punch

Moor from lakota had an amazing game first round of playoffs vs. NGS. 353 yards rushing and 5 tds. Next game vs. NRS was held to 36 yards

Isaac Jacobs from DC deserves a mention, he has put up some big numbers, and he might be an even better linebacker. Dexter Two Crow from Parshall is a hard runner and good athlete, just doesnt have a line to block for him.
