Why play CJ in the fourth?

I completely agree. Fisher always used to pull Eddie and McNair if we were up by 20+ late in a game. Not sure what his motives were this week...

 

I didn't have a problem with him in to start the fourth quarter, but once it was around 6:00 minutes left it definitely crept into my mind.

Other than the long run the running game was pretty unspectacular, so I guess Keith could be right.

 

I can't complain after a win like that. I'm sure others will, but after that outing, Fisher looked like the coach the media makes him out to be.

 

It was the first game of the season...last thing this team needs is another preseason game while 31 other teams play for real. It was important to get everyone the reps.

 

I didn't see a problem with it, but then again I'm greedy and I want CJ to get all the yards he can, no matter how/when he does it. He can get injured at any point so no one can really say he's more likely to get hurt at one point of a game than another.

 

2,500 yards doesn't come easy.

 

at some point you pull your starters. there was no need to give CJ 27 carries. I don't think he should get more than 20 carries a game personally. I did think Ringer looked pretty good, he hit the hole hard and actually was a nice changeup.

 

He's on pace to break the record... Well he did better this years week-1 than last years. Not much of a pace with only one game, but I'm thinking he breaks 2105.

 

CJ is frustrating to watch sometimes. Or could be the OL's fault. He'll have a few plays that gain lots of yards, and tons that gain nothing or lose yards. That often sets us up in 3rd and longs that won't be easily converted. CJ's all or nothing style can win us games, but it can also lose us games because of the lack of consistent yardage. Hopefully enough of his big runs end up being TDs, so it will be a non issue.

Yesterday, he definitely played well enough. I'm happy with Ringer too. Didn't look too slow yesterday.
