Having watched Dayne in college I would contend that he needs to be played differently. He was never a first round pick IMO because he played behind a line in college that was truly great. Big Ten Backs can fool you because they always play behind huge lines. Barber is quicker to the hole and has better instincts than does Dayne and he also catches the ball better out of the backfield. However, I think they have to decide if they're going to give Dayne a fair shot by handing him the ball 30 times a game to find out what he can do. I still think he's too slow but he is a powerful back who gets better as the game goes on. I hate the RB by committee stuff. I think you pick your stallion and run him each week. Personally I think Levens has enough Gas left in the tank to be that guy in Philly. If Staley goes down you guys may get a real surprise at how productive levens can be if given the ball 25 times a game.

>>I think Dayne's a bust.

My friend has taken to calling him "No Gain Dayne" :^)
Dayne has shown he has the explosive power up the middle, but he's not consistent.
