RB by Committee..

I don't know if AP can run behind his pads any more. That has to happen for him to do much for us. Hopefully it isn't a worn out or injured back issue.

 

Uh. We averaged 2.7 ypc. It didn't look good to me. It didn't matter, but it did not look good. 4 catches for 16 yards was meh.

Foreman looked ok, but he only had 5 carries, 29 yards, and at one point he tackled himself. So I can't wear rose colored glasses for that.

And it was a game where we were ahead the entire game, but still only 69 yards on the ground.

 

To be fair the offensive line wasn't doing Henry any favors this season and none of those backs are the king. Take into account that our best run blocker in Nate Davis was sidelined and a virtual unknown was playing LT along with a sidelined swing tackle that doesn't help matters. Peterson hasn't played in nearly a year, Foreman was signed off the street and McNichols has been nothing more than a situational pass catcher....so yeah the results are about what I expected against the #10 run defense.

 

I don’t know what was up, but McNichols looked lost on a couple of those plays where we sent him out of the backfield.

 

AP rushed for 600 yards and 7 TDs just last year

 

Bobby Hart

 

he had like 5-6 days to get ready for his first game in like 9 months

it was a preseason game for him in all respects

don't read too much into it

 

He played as well as we could have hoped.

 

Thank goodness we have one of the top qbs in the league to lead us through this.

 

B11 makes those 2 catches instead of stone handing them and the O is judged differently

T17 played well enough considering the game situation
