^It does not work that way at all in football lol. I can promise you that. Speed = power. The faster you run into someone, the hard the impact. If you take a month off, it feels like 4 months to the body. Ricky will/can run over a defender, but to do that repeatedly and make that 'his' game style at the age 34 would not be smart.
Look at Marion Barber and what all those hits he use to deliver has done to him. He can barely stay healthy and just turned 28 this summer. I'm a ricky fan as well and I followed him at Texas.

Sproles to NO is intriguing. I've always thought Sproles was a very very good back who will occasionally (and usually at just the right time) put up some banannas numbers.

Sproles is the man. That guy is one foot step away from a touchdown 'every' time he touches the ball. 11.8 million for Bush for one year, or 14 million for 4 years for Sproles? No brainer.
