The fact is none of us know at this point, but I have to laugh at the Henry and even more so the Young owners who want to downplay Hall's performance. He has shown as much as Young and Young has no better pedigree and a greater penchant for being injured. Incidentally, they have run behind the same line.
You realize Hall averaged 3.77 yards per carry, right? Seriously, what is it about a 26-for-98 day that makes people think he's going to get a bigger role going forward?
A lot of us saw him at 25-104, which is over 4ypc, before he lost 6 yards on his final carry. So people saw the 100 yards, the TD, the 69 yards receiving, and the 15 carries for 108 yards (7.2 ypc since you like to refer to yards per carry after a ridiculously small sample size) and a TD before today. Do you really not get why people might question whether or not he'll get a bigger role going forward?
Andre Hall's stats this season- 41 carries, 206 yards. That's 5.02 per carry.Selvin Young's stats this season- 76 carries, 385 yards. That's 5.01 per carry.
Yes, I really don't get why people might question whether he'll get a bigger role going forward.
He hasn't outperformed anyone ahead of him. In fact, his complete inability to get yardage at the end of the game was one of the primary reasons Denver wound up losing against Chicago. Not that that was all in him- there wasn't much there- but he's the type of RB who takes what's there and nothing more. Guys like that are a dime a dozen.
