Sabertooth is a kno\/\/n caddy hater. Please proceed with caution.

I watched Caddy do better in short yardage and GL situations and the Bucs then stopped using Alsuck in those situations all together.

To clarify, Caddy had only 2 carries from inside the 5, and scored one TDHe had 13 carries on 3rd/4th and short and averaged 7.7 yards per rush. his 2nd and short numbers were not as good, but he had 20 carries in those situations.

Alstott OTOH, had 9 GL carries and 6 TDs - significantly fewer carries than Caddy on short yardage situations off the GL - to support the above assertion, he had almost no carries from week 13 forward, and scored no rushing TDs.

That's kind of the way I remember it. Trying to recall, however, I don't think there were too many carries (if at all) at the stripe the last few weeks, at least enough to tell if Caddy was being kept in there.

IIRC, most of Alstott's 9 GL carries were from the Washington game, and the rest were when Cadillac came back and they didn't want to risk injury again. Still, good stats.

I've described the end of the year in several threads now.Alstott had 3 carries it the last 4 games....all meaningless. Carnell rec'd every big carry, including the 4-and-1 against Atlanta with 1 minute left to tie (the biggest play of the year for the Bucs).

In the playoff game, Alstott rec'd 1 more carry...a 3rd-and-1 where he was stuffed. Gruden threw on the next play.

Looking at the way Gruden gave Carnell more and more important carries as the season wore on, I see no basis for the statements people have made regarding Alstott and his big short-yardage role again??

Most people don't watch the Bucs and they're going off of old memories of Alstott.Personally, if people aren't willing to listen to those who know, screw em. What do I care who they draft?

or they look at the stats and see those GL TDs on very few carries from earlier in the year.I'd say Pittman's more of a threat to steal FF points (as a receiver out of the backfield) over Alstott as the GL threat, but that's just my pair of pennies on the sitch.
