Johnson=Mack

Interesting to me that DJ got more carries. Continues to keep Mack fresh. Mack can do some incredible things but it seems like DJ strikes a little more fear into opposing defenses with his tenacious running style.

For the old-timers

Mack = Dorsett and DJ = Campbell?

Mack is a better runner.

DJ has better hands.

Both awesome.

this...and DJ runs back punts/kick offs.  DJ is more versatile, and he also showed some ankle breaking cuts. They are our best 1-2 punch ever, and I believe both are back for 2017.

Give where we were at the time it's pretty amazing that we landed both of them. I bet a lot of coaches look back at that class and think about what could have been. 

They are both great backs and we needed both of them both to get to where we are now. I think both will go pro, but DJ may end up playing at a couple of spots before they figure out how to best use him at that level. It will be nice to have more Bulls in he NFL!

My guess is that flowers ends up in the NFL at RB also, could have all 3 guys getting a shot there.

was wondering is Mack was dinged up, or if CWT just wanted to get DJ more reps.  Hopefully the latter.

I've also noticed Mack seems much stronger this year.  Last year, some arms tackles took him down.  This year, including his 85 yard run, he's able to push thru those tackle attempts.

Their both special players . CWT hit the lottery with both of those guys in the same class . 

I'm glad CWT can develop running back talent

Both very good backs, but very different. I feel Mack is quicker and more agile, while DJ is more of a power, up the middle type of back. DJ is also a much better all around player, IMHO.  DJ is a better blocker.  Someone mentioned it above, and I completely agree that DJ is more of a NFL RB than Mack.

Agreed. He seems to run with the ball too exposed but I can't remember him ever fumbling, so maybe it's no biggie.

Mack's style reminds me of LeVeon Bell.  Call me crazy.  I think that works pretty well in the NFL.  I like both, but I think Mack is the better talent at RB.  I hope they both get a shot, but they should both play another year in college.
