    Three or four a season? You do realize that CJ already has more 50 yard plays then anyone in the history of the NFL, right?

    Let me get this right, just to make sure I understand clearly.

    When CJ does well, it's because his offensive line is opening up huge holes and all he has to do is run fast.

    When CJ does poorly, it's because he's inconsistent.

    The offensive line is only there when he does well, they aren't the inconsistent ones. Even though our QB is getting pressured constantly and none of our other RBs are having any success either. Just making sure were on the same page here.

    and i admit, its tough for the Oline to block when they are going against an 8-9 man box. And Deuce you want to know why our other RBs instantly gain more yardage? Well its because that 8-9 man front disappears when CJ isn't in the game. Let me know when Ringer or Harper gets more yds that CJ against an 8-9 man front.

    So you are saying that you would rather have "everyone else" instead of CJ because "everyone else" gets 2,3,4,2,3,3,5,2,5? Fair enough. You want a running back that averages 3.2 yards a carry. Based on your math, that still doesn't get you a first down in three runs. That style doesn't work for highlights, and it kills drives.

    I don't think CJ walks on water, but the way some people around talk about him you would think he is one of the worst running backs in the game. I just don't get that.

    Cool. If we're more effective without that 8 man front- let's leave CJ on the bench.

    I guess that creates a bit of balance in the offense though- and lord knows we can't have that.

    I am a big supporter of C.J.'s, but I'm not blind. I recognize his strengths, and also his weaknesses. Waiting for holes to open the way he does limits him in what he's able to do because he's literally STOPPING half the time while the defense is picking up momentum. 6 out of 10 times he waits and nothing opens up, but the few times he does wait and a hole opens up, he's gone, so he'll keep doing that until it doesn't result in 100-yard games. That kind of play is devastating for a team like ours right now. C.J. either needs to lineup 9-yards behind center or we need to use him differently. He's simply there too soon for the hand off because he's so fast.

    It's true, I'm on JCBRAVEs side. CJ is a "Highlight reel" and is drives me crazy at times. He does go for -1, 1, 3, -1, 15, 1, 1, 2, -3, 1, then 60. Sure he looks good on paper after a game, but he can kill drives... he also can make drives happen as well.

    Drives me crazy how he's always looking for the home-run and not the 5 yard gain. CJ needs his blocks to develop he can't just hit the hole. Which at times can work, or he can get blown up for the -5.

    Which one is better, the 5 yards every time runner or the home run hitter? Who knows. :D

    That's a horrible idea you've got there. How about we let Hasselbeck and the receivers build chemistry so they can force teams to take a guy or 2 out of the box? Seemed to work just fine before Young's injury/blowup last season.

    That works too, but then you guys are out of 1 more excuse when CJ struggles...
