    You're over rating Greene. If he does anything next week it's not because he is better, it's because were playing a weak defense.

    I think cj is gonna get his yards now but we need to run him outside and not up the gut, those plays piss me off. I love play action but if we cannot establish the run those plays go out the door. I would love to see play action.

    Lol... I don't even know what you're argument was, and I don't care. I know you're a CJ/VY fanboy and a Locker hater. Those are the facts.

    Ummm... no. I'm talking about what you think, not what I think. You think it would be funny if we got destroyed just so you could be proven right. We're basically playing without CJ at this point anyways. Do you think I was happy to be right about Fitzpatrick? No... I want to be wrong if it benefits my team. You want to be right, regardless of the outcome.

    Can't wait to hear the whole "they were too focused on CJ to stop Locker" excuse... I have no doubt that defenses still respect CJ and gameplan for him, but to pretend like they aren't focusing on Locker (especially at this point with him playing at a high level) is ridiculous.

    Your facts are wrong. I love Locker. Just highly doubted him. And also teams focus more on CJ than Locker at this point. That's a fact.

    "When has locker shined? 2 minute drills. Do we run the ball in hurry up? No. So the defense isn't nearly worried about CJ but locker balls out. Your argument that CJ is the reason locker has been good is now void. Come again."

    Plz respond

    Why do you guys even argue with TWW2? Even if you prove him wrong with stats and examples, he will still ignore them. His homer glasses are on, don't waste your time. I wish CJ wasn't an average back like he is now.

    He's an average RB, with good speed, making elite RB money... it's that simple.

    While I think CJ is a big part of the problem just getting rid of him or phasing him out of the offense won't help any unless we have guys to carry the rock and be effective.

    The whole argument for Greene being a big loss and potentially a big help coming back is CJ and Battle can be horrible. It is like the worst of both worlds. One guy is a home run hitting boom or bust and the other guy is legally blind who occasionally guesses right or runs someone over. Neither of them have the consistency we need.

    As for CJ he can be effective if on his more limited carries if he runs hard and we have the defense softened up or back on their heels because of an effective passing attack. But giving CJ the ball multiple times when you are trying to get 10+ yards for a 1st down is pointless.

    Actually I'd argue the running game or lack of it is the reason Locker hasn't been better. IMO with our WRs and Locker showing he can be accurate with the ball, making all the throws, Locker could be having a field day if we had a respectable running game.

    Locker hasn't really shined that much more in 2 minute drills then he has the rest of the game. 2 of the plays he's shined in 2 minute drills was just deep jump balls to Justin Hunter who shined more. In fact the deep ball td to Hunter before halftime was very risky b/c we took forever to get the play off and if hunter doesnt come down with that ball we may not have had any time left on the clock for a fg.

    Can't imagine that this is true considering we have the best running back that ever existed, cj1yd
