Why Timmy starts??

Me too. I'll take 10 5-20 yard runs a game over two 50 yard runs total over a 38 game period.

Hightower simply cannot produce as the lead back. We've already seen two years of it. Hightower just cannot run the ball effectively when asked to carry the load offensively. He is great running when the opposing d is looking pass or inside the redzone. Between the 20s you better have Beanie running the football.

Hightower is Marcel Shipp. Beanie is OJ Anderson.

how anyone can argue this is beyond me.

Exactly. Tim is an ideal 3rd down back, who excels in pass protection and receptions out of the backfield. That's how he should be used.
