Why was Gary yanked when Portis took over ???Injury ???
Yes if he was playing behind a 2nd/3rd string offensive line against a 1st string NFL D
Mcdaddy, if you're not sure look it up. Gary was coming off a broken leg injury. Denver started the year RBBC using Gary, Anderson and Portis. They were not settled on a starter. I'm not sure but I think Anderson was coming off an injury as well. In any case, they had not settled on a starter and were using all 3. By game 5 Portis was the starter and the rest is history.
But don't you know Mungro? There's no way those guys can be NFL starting running backs if they can't get 3-4 yards on a consistent basis.
We still haven't seen Q carry the rock 20-25 times a game on a consistent basis.This will be a very big deciding factor - whether he can finish games strong or not
Actually, Quentin carried it 28 times agains Indy and 21 times against GB last year. Don't remember him getting broke in those games.Tatum on the otherhand, has had 27 carries of preseason ball.
My point exactlySoft Indy Def on Turf28 Carries for 136 Yards4.9 YPCThe following week ( yes only 1 week later)GB Def on grass21 carries for 74 Yards3.5 YPCDo we notice a pattern ???I think Griffin will break down and probably by the 4th game as well.All those shots from 6'2 230lbs linebackers takes a toll on a smaller frame. Remember this guy isn't gonna get arm tackled like Barry Sanders. He will take some good licks. Can he hold up ???
Yeah, and he rushed for a combined 210 yds in those games with another 45 yds receiving. Oh, how soon they forget....
2 weeks and you are calling it a "pattern"?
Could you explain how he read his holes properly. I didn't get to watch the game and am not sure excactly what your talking about. Denver uses a Zone blocking scheme and he doesn't really read holes he finds them. So did the holes collapse to fast or did he just not find any?Thanks for the info.
I think your actual point is that the Pack was above average against the rush. Its OK, I'll interpret the data for you.Greenbay (according to NFL.com):Rushing Yds per Game Rank: 10Average Yds per Rush: 4.1Total Rushing TD's scored against: 10
Actually....I don't see how this makes your point, but it's always great when people pull out the GB game as a reason why Quetin can't run on grass.Why don't we go back and look at who else played that game. Hmmm, QB's of Danny freakin Kannel and Jarious Jackson..........Can't imagine that the GB D was cheating up for the run with those gunslingers in pocket.
Now don't let logic come into this!!!It seems that some guys on this board will not let the facts get in the way of a good argument. They see what they want to see and that's final. I can understand when you have something to base a point on but the Bell arument is merely based on hope. Ignore the fact that Shanny said Griffin is the starter because obviously, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
The holes did indeed collapse fast and Tatum did a good job bouncing to the outside or inside and turned what was a potential loss into a small or no gainI'm not arguing that Q is the starter for NOW....but when someone gets a job handed to them (lterally) because of injury to another than things tend to play out differently come the first 4 weeks of the season
I think most people are saying that the ####ing head coach has declared Griffin the starter and Bell is fighting for the backup's job. You're talking about him "taking over" based on second-string plays against the Arizona Cardinals in the final pre-season game. There's no "pattern", there's nothing to distinguish. The starter is Griffin, the backup may be Bell, and you can believe whatever the hell you want. But that's the way it is, no matter how badly you want it to change.Why do I have to explain this to anybody smart enough to turn a computer on?

Oh c'mon that's just fun hypeHe did exactly what I expected him to do ... be as good as Q Griffin.But you're the guy who keeps making the threads claiming that tonight the Bell era begins.
And a much warmer bench.Oh c'mon that's just fun hypeHe did exactly what I expected him to do ... be as good as Q Griffin.But you're the guy who keeps making the threads claiming that tonight the Bell era begins.
Bell has a much higher ceiling than Q
It was Arz first string defence and it wasn't a lost fumble eitherAfter a nice 21 Yard run i might add as wellAveraging 3.8 ypc and fumbling against the 2nd string is the beginning of the takeover?
Bell owners are "Chasing the Dream". Only way Bell sniffs the field is if Q has his leg broke.It was Arz first string defence and it wasn't a lost fumble eitherAfter a nice 21 Yard run i might add as wellAveraging 3.8 ypc and fumbling against the 2nd string is the beginning of the takeover?
