    Ubiq's perspective is so wrong i had to wait a while to hold my temper in response.

    Lendale white was 6th in the nfl in carries.

    Lendale white didn't miss a simgle game last year due to injury. In those 16 games he averaged 19 carries per.

    Lendale white accounted for almost 1/4 of our total offense.

    I honestly don't know how a fatass out of shape person can do that. Play every game in an nfl season and carry the ball over 300 times?

    I think it is idiotic to sit there and pine about what you think lendale should be. The reality is that he played well for us last year and answered the bell everytime.

    This obsession with how he looks in a bathing suit is stupid moronic and frankly homo. We didn't draft him to look pretty we drafted him to pound the ball between the tackles and he did just that.

    rolltide misses the point yet again.

    it's not about how he looks, it's about being a professional. with an nfl weight room at his disposal, nfl trainers/nutritionists and lots of money to put towards his own trainers, there is no reason to come in to camp looking like a guard every year. it just seems like being average is good enough for him.

    if you don't think having more muscle and less fat would help his game, then there is no reasoning with you.

    RollTide, are you satisfied with mediocrity? The point is while he performs adequately he still plays beneath his potential. Imagine how good he would be if he was 110%.:disbelief

    I get it..

    Eddie's 3.8 ypc was hard, fought for and acheived despite inferior athleticism. But lendale's 3.8 ypc came easy because he is such a natural physical specimen. Ok i understand now. :beerbang:

    The bears used to have a player named richard dent. Mike ditka would ride that guy more than any other player and there was a perception among the fans that he wasn't quite as good as he should be. Dent belongs in the hall of fame and perceptions were wrong because the guy had a great career.

    If he can pound the ball between the tackles 19 times a game and generate 57 first downs and 7 TDs a year what in the hell is there to complain about?

    Let us remember gentlemen that in 2002-2003 our team won 25 games with a runningback only averaging 3.35 yards a carry getting 20 carries a game. Eddie's yards per carry was poor but he got those yards consistently and we didn't have many 3rd and long siruations.

    Despite that paltry ypc eddie rarely got stopped for no gain and rarely had a bad game. If he needed a yard to keep a drive going he got it.

    If we won with eddie's 3.35 yards a carry why is everyone so upset by lendale's 3.8 so far? And eddie had a better QB then..
