Green is 10 times the goal line back Dayne is. I would not worry about that.
No question. However, due to his asthma condition Green has to take himself out of games frequently and while with Green Bay he often took himself out near the goal line. So that's something to watch this season. I fully expect Dayne to get 8-10 carries a game to keep Green fresh each week and throughout the season (durability being a major issue with Green). If you're a Green owner, don't sweat Dayne's presence but be prepared to lose some goal-line carries as the season goes on. That was Green's MO with the Packers and I doubt it will change at this point in his career with the Texans.
good post. i tend to agree. And Carolina is a tough run defense, as evidenced by Steven Jackson's week 1.i will be benching him this week and starting the Titans duo of White and Brown. Hoping Jones Drew steps up as my flex.
Funny, if you take out all his carries, he had zero yards. Horrible.
Tom that is what happens in this game called football. sometimes teams do run on a third and long. If your genious analysis holds up then houston should face multiple third and longs this week against a stout Carolina defense. Ahman could be fantasy gold!Really, lets stop with the "take X carries away and you have an awful game" schtick. Ahman is part of a gameplan in houston. be the starting back and catch some passes out of the backfield. When you are up by 17 points you do have the luxury of abandoning this game plan and giving some other players some quality gametime.
Yea I know what you're getting it but it is not relevant here. Sorry but running for 30 yards against a prevent defense when the defense is GIVING you those yards is not the same as if he busted off a 40 yard run on a 1 and 10 in the 3rd quarter or something. You want to know how he actually ran, there it is...Bad attempt on your part.
yes, i saw parts of the game as well, and the running game was atrocious. I am surprised they won. Suffice to say I was disappointed in the offense and Green's results. I thus will be moving on this week and taking a wait and see on Green, as I happen to have good RB depth this year.
Yes it is the same since a yard = a yard regardless how it was earned. Isn't that how Dom Davis was a top 10 back a few years ago? He didn't get a lot of meaningful yards but he got a lot of yards and td's. I love when my team is getting blown out and he's getting meaningless yards against a prevent defense. That's why I drafted Kitna.
How can you predict 3rd and 35s and runs with 3 seconds left in the half from the 50 yard line when the team is in prevent? It's not like with Dom Davis when they were losing every game and he got dump offs all game. This game was distinctly different from all these misguided comparisons.
I don't think it's crazy to predict HOU will have a give-up run per game. He happened to have two this game. But, he also didn't appear to play too much in the 4th, losing some yards he might otherwise have gained.I understand what you're saying and it might be why Green won't be a top 10 RB this year. But, that doesn't mean he can't be a solid RB2.
I count 71, and 96 for the game.
