Re: Interesting tidbit about our running game
rock did have a good short yardage completion rate under spurrier... of course, to spurrier 3rd and 1 was an obvious passing down (as was every other down). Maybe broughton can learn to not fumble and give it a try... or sellers, or how about mccune? he's built and smart enough to run foward into a pile.

Re: Interesting tidbit about our running game
Quick question who was our starting RB before Clinton Portis? Trung Canidate...Now i may be a dumb-ass aussie who lacks the knowledge and intricacies of the game, but i am thinking this is possibly an upgrade of where we were at 2 years ago.

It really depends on how you look at it, if we traded Bailey for pick's or Shawn Alexander we could very well be better off and have more money to help in other area's, if you are saying it is a choice between the 2 than talent wise no, but you have to take into account what we would have done contrary to the Portis trade. |

Re: Interesting tidbit about our running game
offiss, my point was that we had no running game whatsoever with Spurrier and a RB was our number 1 priority. The fact that we got a 22 year old who had excelled in his first 2 years was a coup. We were always going to pay a hefty price for this. CB's are dime a dozen and if we had kept Smoot, we would not be complaining.
i guarantee that everyone was over the moon the day CP signed with us. CP is still young and i have no doubt he will be the gun everyone thought he would be. Patience people. |
