WE have had no sucesses this year in the short yardage game. I do not understand why we have not tryed Rock in the short game. If I remember correctly he was pretty effective last year.

I agree that this is a glaring need, but Alstott isn't the answer. THis is a place where an undrafted rookie/cheap FA ought to be available. ALstott is injury prone and old.
This, to my mind, is the real problem with Gibbs offense (not that the passing game isn't too conservative, but still...). We have not been able to pick up 3rd and shorts all year. It shows that our O-line isn't controlling the line of scrimmage. Everything in Gibbs offense works off of that, including the at-persent nonexistent long passing game. If we can't dominate the line of scrimmage with our O-line, nothing will work. It's not a conicidence that the games we looked ok in were games that we ran the ball with authority. GIbbs had the most famous O-line ever in the Hogs, and he won 3 superbowls with them. That's what we're missing. Everything depends on it.

If I remember right someone here suggested, several weeks ago, that we consider Brad Hoover. That might not be a bad idea

Personally I think the guy is a dope and should be cut for his boneheaded plays, but why isn't Mike Sellers a short yardage back? The guy is huge and has some speed, shouldn't he be able to hit a hole and lean for a yard or 2?

Alstott almost ended his career after sustaining a neck injury.
I agree with Matty, give the ball to Betts; he is very quick (not necessarily fast), has good vision, and runs with power. |

I agree about giving the ball to Betts. The Problem is WE DONT GIVE IT TO HIM. He is our short yardage back, and our change of pace back all in one package. I dont think he has scored a TD yet this year, or even being used on the goal-line. Thats why I would get so pissed. If were going to run it up the middle, give it to Betts, when we did that with Portis I was like " either run him outside or get Betts in there". I think Betts will be fine.

Problem is Betts can't make the short yardage runs either! We need a bruiser who like taking on DL and someone that can push them a yard or 2. Alstott can still do that. If Bettis can do it Alstott still can.

The problem isn't entirely with the backs. The line has been pretty inconsistent at opening up holes all year.
