Why does Todd Bowles hate Bial Powell? (1 Viewer)

Did Bial piss in his Cheerios or something?   

I just can't get my head around their lack of use of him especially with Forte looking like he's running in mud.

Forte didn't look so bad tonight, but lacked speed in the open field. 

Bilal and Forte have been hurt at times this year, which explains the committee Bowles is using.  

It worked tonight. They went for nearly two hundred on the ground combined, and controlled play doing it.  

eta* Just so you know, it's not Bial. It's Bilal.

Tood Bowles is a dope, but it's John Morton's call.  He loves using 3 RBs.  Forte looked better than usual, but I'm with you. I have no idea why they don't use Powell more.

Forte looked great. So did Powell.

Everytime they use Powell as a three down back he seems to do well.  Dating back to last year.  I'm with you, this makes no sense. 

Reminds me back of the days as a frustrated Spiller owner when they kept letting the less talented/fast Fred Jackson get all these carries and never let Spiller get into a rhythm. When they did he lit it up.  Same thing here. 

Let Powell Run!

hes just not that good

Forte is still a damn good RB. Not fast but still excellent vision and elusiveness. Combine that with his excellent route running/pass blocking/hands. Hard to keep guys like that off the field, especially when your team lacks pass catchers and is in the playoff hunt.

I like Powell a lot, but Forte looked like he wasn't quite done yet, and McGuire surprised me with his burst last night.  Having three productive backs is a good problem for an NFL team to have.  Coaches don't care about our fantasy teams.
