I was thinking the same thing but...Arian's the bishop. Just give him a small opening and he just
slices to the other side of the board.
I would say Schaub is the King. Limited mobility, requires strong supporting cast, if he leaves the game, we lose.I put him at Bishop (3rd)
Andre = King
Schaub = Queen
Foster = Bishop
This. I guess that would make Derrick Ward and Kevin Walter our knights; you never see them coming until they have you in check. Dreesen is our bishop...I would say Schaub is the King. Limited mobility, requires strong supporting cast, if he leaves the game, we lose.
Foster is the Queen. Most versatile player, can take apart defenses. Best offensive weapon
AJ is the Rook; not limited to either white or black squares like the bishop. Can stretch the field and is also great in setting blocks and taking away defenses so the Queen can do the most damage.

Give Bush a break for a week ... he didnt let a rookie 6th round pick 3rd string QB come in and look like the second coming of Montana ....Señor Stan;1593894 said:What is this "chess" you speak of? Is it anything like checkers?

O line does not translate to chess very well. The O line essentially protects the QB and creates holes for the RB. There is no chess piece that directly translates to pure protection.Teh o line gets no respect LOL
Is the Bishop a one cut sort of Ches Piece?Arian's the bishop. Just give him a small opening and he just

That's a pretty accurate description.Is the Bishop a one cut sort of Ches Piece?
In the midst of all of the fight talk, I just wanted to bump an Arian Foster thread. This guy continues to amaze me. Foster improves seemingly every game. In his 2nd year, he's one of the leagues most complete backs.
I try to find an adequate comparison to Foster, either past or present, but I can't seem to get it right. I heard Dan Fouts compare Arian to Marcus Allen. I can see where he's going with that, as both had outstanding moves and were receiving threats. But, Foster has more power. Maybe Terrell Davis, but Foster seems more fluid. I've watch the NFL for a long time, and I can't find a good match with Arian. He's an original.
Ya, someone else said Dickerson. I hate to say it, but he's got a bit of OJ in him, too. A throwback to the prototypical tailback of days past - tallish with power and slick moves..... It's good to see him having success because the NFL is sort of a fad league and there has been a proliferation of what I call "sugar bears". You know, smallish, stocky, under 6 ft RB's. This would be the Ray Rices, MJD's, Felix Jones' and yes, Steve Slaton's. I think it all began with the "godfather of the sugar bears", Barry Sanders...In the midst of all of the fight talk, I just wanted to bump an Arian Foster thread. This guy continues to amaze me.
