This is enough IMO to knock him down to the pack behind him and I could easily make the case for 3 others to finish in front of him.

That doesn't mean I rank him 4th, just that he's not the clear-cut #1 overall for me. UFFC-Thats exactly where I have him, the only thing making me worried about having him at 4?
He has a sweet schedule...

Near to 3K in touches in his career is a serious worry more...

IT WILL BE EVEN MORE TOUCHES FOR L.T. CONSIDERING TURNER IS NOT THEIR ANYMORE. TRUE THEY LOST NEAL BUT THEY HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN PINNOCK BEING THE NEW FULLBACK.

The Bears had confidence in Benson.

WELL IN MY OPINION RUSS LORENZO NEAL RANKS UP THERE WITH THE BEST BLOCKING BACKS OF ALL TIME IF NOT THE BEST.

I AM SURE HIS CONTRACT WASN'T TO HEFTY SO FOR THE CHARGERS TO LET HIM WALK IT MUST BE SOMETHING THEY SEE IN PINNOCK.

PINNOCK VERSUS NEAL IS NOT GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK L.T.'S NUMBERS.

PINNOCK VERSUS NEAL IS NOT GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK L.T.'S NUMBERS. From Wiki...Prior to playing for the Chargers, Neal has had stints with the New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, and Cincinnati Bengals. Neal is also currently the NFL's highest paid fullback gaining a three year extension after becoming a free agent in 2007, which was worth 5.1 million dollars.
Neal is best known as an exceptional blocking fullback, and has lead blocked for 1000 yard rushers in 11 straight seasons

(Adrian Murrell in 1997, Warrick Dunn in 1998, Eddie George in 1999-2000, Corey Dillon from 2001-2002, and LaDainian Tomlinson from 2003 to 2007.)

I'd say it was the contract. And, if they think they have found something better than a guy who had blocked for 1000 yard rushers for 11 straight years, then more power to them!

GOOD INFO RUSS I DIDN'T NOT KNOW THAT. SO I GUESS THE SAME CLAIM CAN BE MADE FOR ADRAIN PETERSON SINCE THE LET TONY RICHARDSON GO WHO IS ALSO ONE THE GREAT BLOCKING FULLBACKS IN THE NFL.

SO HE SHOULD BE A CONCERN AS WELL RIGHT?

I saw something on ESPN about how Eddie George bought new cars for his entire offensive line in his best season rushing...Neal was his fullback and was injured at the time. George didn't think to get him a car too, since Neal wasn't "with" the team at the time, due to rehab...Neal will NEVER let George forget it...lol...George said in his defense, "I made a big mistake. Lorenzo is the best blocking FB in the game...But in my own defense, I haven't made a decent year's salary since that year due to injuries."

Wow that was a long time ago. How old is Neal? 50?

The Vikes haven't used TR. ADP got his on his talent and the help of the O-line.

WELL RUSS I AM GOING TO GIVE L.T.'S CREDIT TO HIS TALENT AND LINE AS WELL. HE HAS BEEN A CONSISTIENT PERFORMER WITH OR WITHOUT NEAL.

ALSO THE OVERLOOKED PART HERE IS HIS COACH. NORV TURNER HAS MADE ALL AND MEAN ALL HIS BACKS FLOURISH FULLBACK OR NO FULLBACK.

FROM EMMITT SMITH, RICKY WILLIAMS, STEPHEN DAVIS, LAMONT JORDAN, FRANK GORE AND L.T HIMSELF TWICE.

THEY ARE ALL PRODUCED GREAT NUMBERS UNDER TURNER'S SCHEMES.

AS WE KNOW LAMONT JORDAN HASN'T BEEN CRAP SINCE TURNER LEFT.
