HB Choice- Earl or Marshawn, Walker or Marcus

I have LaDanian starting but I run with all 3 Halfbacks in my gameplan. I have Earl and Marshawn as well as Kenneth Walker and Marcus Allen

I've been going w LaDanian, Marshawn (.Tank, bruiser 1.AP total) and Walker (human joystick,.goal line back 1 AP. total)

Am thinking of going back to L.T., Earl (,Tank and goal line back for 1 AP) and Marcus.

Tank doesn't seem to break all hit stick tackles but it does seem to keep the HB from getting fatigued

Which 3 would u go with? I use a power running.game.w just a few outside runs and I don't throw to my HBs that much mostly to TEs and WRs

the best power back combo imo is:

Marshawn HB

Okoye LTD as Power Back

Perry FB

I just dumped Tomlinson for Earl. I’m a power runner so watching him get an extra 5 yards during a tackle was KEY

Yeah but I also like to be able to break one outside and that's where LaDanian is better for that type of running, and he is a very good receiving back......so I like keeping both of them  for both styles. I've broken inside runs to the outside with Tomlinson and that is something I can't do with Earl, Marshawn, Okoye or Fridge

I’ve been using LT and he has been pretty solid I was disappointed with Earl and Walker should have picked up Marshawn when he was cheaper but I have been using Perry some and he is a bowling ball you may like him. Would you say there is a noticeable differenc between Marshawn and LT thanks for any info

Yes except i run Perry at FB1.  I think yr smart to use LT at recieving back that way you can also sub him in if you want to change things up mid game.

That exactly the purpose, thanks!!!

you should take a look at Marshall Faulk. Receiving backs are top priority in my scheme, been super impressed with Faulk with Short in elite and gran-n-go

I loved Allen when I had him. Sold him thinking reduxes were a present. Pulled lt, but I like Allen better.

Okoye running behind Perry has been completely unstoppable for me.  I use LT as my #1 b/c I feel elusive backs are the top backs this year for consistent production.

I run perry at hb most games. I dont run much and perry blocks like mfer when I need it and he can always grab a couple yards running if I truly needed. Man always falls forward.

For some reason I found Okoye even without abilities to be very effective running the ball. Even more than Earl or Marshawn. But i also find him to be the best lead blocking FB in the game so in I form , strong, etc, I usually use Okoye as my blocking back. The problem w Perry at FB is you run anything outside the guards is that he doesn't get there fast enough.

IMO that is where you messed up.  Don’t run a power back outside.  It hasn’t worked well all year. Only ground and pound power backs with or without a lead blocker.  If I had to run outside I wouldn’t use i forms but rather singleback.  Perry is pretty handedly the top lead blocker in the game (for a power back).  I’d bet Okoye at FB is far better with an elusive back.  But yeah Okoye is ”him” as far as running the ball up the middle all day long.  Only power back that has been effective for me all year so far.
