I'll second that!
You guys need to watch this video if you haven't already! Rathman says some good things in here, like what qualities he thinks it takes to be a great football player.
Watching the Niners/Raiders preseason game I thought Coffe looked amazing. Then Robinson came in and looked like a stud too. So now I'm thinking the Raiders run D must really suck, because I know Robinson can't run for crap.

OK, I don't think Coffee looked "amazing." I think the blocking was amazing. He just basically ran through the holes. I mean, I like him. He's definitely capable of a 1,000 yard season and backing up Gore. We have 4 really good RBs on this team. It's starting to look like Denver: just plug one in and go.
Love the Roger Craig comparisons to Coffee... I totally see it! No high steppin' yet, but runs straight ahead, down-hill style. We are going to have ourselves one hell of a one-two punch.
Coffee looked great but this is against a weak Raider defense. Lets see what he can bring to the cowboys. I hope he continues to shine and that we have found a real 1-2 punch with Gore and Coffee. That would be a great way to keep them both fresh for the post season
