There's a nice farewell to Justin Forsett over at Bears Necessity. I agree with his evaluation (although I don't really see what Forsett's faith has to do with anything, apart from explaining his taking a knee after touchdowns), and share his hopes for Forsett's future. Probably not a top tier back, but he'd be great as the speedy half of a Thunder & Lightning backfield. Dallas comes to mind, but I think they just signed someone to pair with Marion Barber III. (Or maybe not. ESPN.com has Barber as the only RB on the team. OK, then, Forsett would be a good fit for the Cowboys.)
Between Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett, Cal has benefited from a strong running game over the past few years. (I remember J.J. Arrington and Adimchinobi "Joe" Echemandu both having strong Berkeley careers as well, in spite of their relative lack of professional success.) It will be interesting to see if the Bears are as strong on the ground in 2008. We all know they didn't want Kevin Hart's help. Jahvid Best looked strong last year as a compliment to Lynch, but he's coming off a hip injury. Hopefully he's back up to speed. A strong running game will go a long way in helping Cal reestablish their place near the top of the Pac 10.

Only reason I mention Forsett's faith is that he was always humble about his successes and strived to work harder every game. His effort was 110% and higher.

V. good point. Forsett always played the game the right way, and seems like a great person to boot. If you want to treat that as an extension of his beliefs, I certainly can't argue against it. Thanks for the comment!
