Welcome to Part 2 of the ThunderingBlurb's running back battles to watch. On deck are New Orleans, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.

Here are some of the key questions: Can Maurice Jones-Drew carry the load for a full season as a featured back? Is this the year Reggie Bush breaks out? Or will he lose goal-line touches to Pierre Thomas? Who will back up the brittle Brian Westbrook and will they have an impact this season? Frank Gore wore down last season; what will the Niners do to preserve him this time around? Will anyone step up as a credible threat from the backfield in Seattle?

4	Niners spent a 3rd round draft pick on a RB, so clearly they are looking to get Gore some help. I just wish they'd have addressed the O-Line more, that is really what would have helped Gore. That and a QB that can throw the ball might take some pressure off Gore.

0	Maurice Jones Drew has better upside than all of them to have better season with more touches. He's like a power back version of Barry Sanders.

The Saints always have problems with over-the-hill wide receivers (ex. Joey Galloway), so I'm more worried about Moose

OK lets see.. Jones-Drew first three years 2,500 years rushing(Never been over 1,000).... Sanders first three years 4,322 rushing and 42 touchdowns(Sanders when for over 1,000 his first three years).... Tad short on the compairson of the two backs.

Those backs never had the likes of a Drew Brees as their QB. Ya feel me?
