  • best running back, wide receiver, wide receiver, running back duo in football right now.

  • 88 say ESPN or hit us up on Key J and Z on Twitter.

  • What I'm gonna do here, fellas, we're getting a tremendous amount of response.

  • I'm just gonna run through and then key.

  • I'll just ask you for a quick strike reaction and then J for the next one because there's some really good ones coming in.

  • AARP EMS 14 on the Doctor Pepper Twitter feed, Davante Adams and Erin Jones, both of them dangerous options and keeps the defense guessing.

  • And if Aaron Rodgers trust them that I'm good with that, Jay, what do you think about that?

  • That's why I said before, I mean, it's like these guys, they're both so explosive.

  • And you look at what Erin Jones has been able to do and saying with Davante Adams, I mean, they have to be at the top tier of this conversation.

  • They're in there.

  • If those two guys are on the board, then I'm certainly not crying if I missile into other ones.

  • Indeed, at carnage F Hive says it's probably cooking.

  • Feeling is a Packers fan.

  • This feels like heresy.

  • I love to say Jones and Adams, but Jones splits too many carries.

  • Prior to this year, it would have been Thomas and camera, but it's definitely not Henry and Brown.

  • Brown is nowhere near top level.

  • Yeah, that's a strong wide receiver comment.

  • Key your wide receiver perspective.

  • Well, you know, feeling is a good player.

  • I don't think that if Minnesota's without feeling that the offense is gonna stall because Justin Jefferson is there.

  • Plus, I just think that when you look at it, you talk about New Orleans.

  • It was so much when they get Thomas back, What are they going to look like when they get Thomas back?

  • Offense looks a little bit better.

  • Hey had his 1st 100 yard game after coming back a couple weeks ago, and he hasn't missed a beat.

  • So I think it's Thomas and camera for sure.

  • But Cook and Jefferson not cooking feeling for me.

  • Okay, Chip 403 at Chip 403 This is interesting.

  • Just based upon what you just said.

  • I'm going a J.

  • Brown.

  • Derrick Henry.

  • Derrick Henry is head and shoulders.

  • The best pure workhorse running back, which essentially sets this debate apart toe.

  • Add in a J.

  • Brown is the tandem You're getting an elite, underrated young wide receiver, which makes this duo the best.

  • And I would just add there Jay Derek Kennedy.

  • Just one of those dudes that gets stronger as the game goes on, not weaker as the game goes on.

  • I mean, in a J.

  • Brown is a beast to, I mean both these guys.

  • Look, if that's Michael Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, A.

  • J.

  • Brown, Derrick Henry, Aaron Jones, Davante Adams.

  • I mean, all these guys, they're right there.

  • I mean, you're probably safe for the year Derrick Henry is having with a J.

  • Brown that they'll probably be number one.

  • But then, I don't know.

  • It's gonna be hard to dislodge Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas to me.

  • I mean, granted, Michael Thomas hasn't played every game this year.

  • He's been battling injuries and some other things that allegedly allegedly other things that have happened.

  • But talent wise, talent wise, I think.

  • Jeez, I think talent.

  • Why those are your top three allegedly.

  • But here's what I would say.

  • I like Derrick Henry.

  • I like the big bruiser wear you down, but I got to take him off the field on third downs because I want to throw the ball on 3rd and 19 or third.

  • I got to get him out of the game and get a catching back in there.

  • That's one of the reasons I like Alvin Kamara.

  • He allows me to do different things, moving around the formations as well as Erin Jones.

  • I could move these guys.

  • McCaffrey.

  • I could move them around in the passing game and don't miss a beat in the running game.

  • If I decide Thio to change the formation, decided to go into an empty package of three by to the emotion one of those guys back into the backfield and run the football.

  • Everybody knows, okay, they may run out of this set or they may throw out of this, said, If I do the same thing with with Derrick Henry and staying empty, they like his quarterback draw.

  • It's just it's you could do more with those other backs.

  • He's still a phenomenal back.

  • He's a workhorse.

  • He's a bruiser.

  • I would love blocking for him.

  • There's no question about it, but I just like a little more versatility with my running backs if years old school is key and I are you actually gonna pick up the phone and call us?

  • That's OK to 88 Say ESPN were not Twitter guys.

  • 88 79 3776 Let's continue to roll through it at Doug.

  • See for Thanks, Doug.

  • Quote the best running back in football.

  • Nick Chubb in the most intense and clutch wide receiver Jarvis Landry.

  • Jay, how about that?

  • Yeah, I don't know if you know, Key always talks about the snap crackle Pop right here.

  • You talk about that?

  • I don't know.

  • If Jarvis Landry brings that I know Nick Chubb does.

  • I mean, maybe o b.

  • J was having if he didn't get hurt and he was having explosive year, I could definitely see that as a tear.

  • I still know if they belong.

  • They're really good.

  • I mean, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt really good.

  • Jarvis Landry is good.

  • I don't know if they belong in that upper upper echelon.

  • I love you trying to find those words, but that's great.

  • Try to find those words instead of just saying they don't belong.

  • You know, you try toe soft landing, you know, because I'm trying to be respectful.

  • You didn't say that they were.

  • You didn't say that.

  • You didn't say that.

  • They were not talented.

  • You didn't say anything like that.

  • They are talented.

  • But when you're talking about a duel, I don't believe that they are on the same level as the other guys.

  • As a dual, I just I don't We had a call it Not that Landry is not good.

  • He's just not Davante Adams.

  • You know, it's it's not that I wasn't good.

  • I'm not Jerry Rice.

  • I'm not Randy Moss.

  • E still was good.

  • I accept that.

  • I did my job, right?

  • Any point of comparison to Randy Moss?

  • Somebody's always finishing second what you're talking about last thing on this particular subject.

  • I'm gonna break the spirit of the question.

  • But I thought it was interesting because last hour, um, we had a listener essentially say, even though this is not running back wide receiver, if you have a guy like Kyler Murray that essentially could operate if you just blindly looked at this statue, could be like, Wow, that guy actually rushed for a lot of yards.

  • If it was a Kyler, Murray DeAndre Hopkins understanding.

  • This is a quarterback, not a running back.

  • What do you think of that tandem?

  • It's kind of a unique way to pose it, because Murray can do both.

  • He can.

  • But he still wouldn't be with Thomason Camaro because he can't catch the ball out of the backfield, something that Alvin could do.

  • He could catch the ball and he can run.

  • Not the kind of Mary Cat, because all of a sudden Cliff Kingsbury he just heard he's drawing it up.

  • We're gonna throw Kyler passed now.

  • But if Kyle is your runner and Hopkins is your catcher, I mean, it's interesting.

  • It is.

  • It is.

  • But how much are you willing to go to the well with that quarterback running the ball like you are with a traditional running back?

  • It's not even necessarily small.

  • You don't.

  • I don't care if he was big.

  • You don't want to have Cam Newton running the football every single play because at some point, the little bruises to the shoulder to the elbow, it hurts me.

  • That ground is hard on the ground is not soften is not friendly.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
