The Diesel Gets The Start In Opener Against Jax

Hopefully both LenDale and C. Brown will stay healthy and provide a solid 1 - 2 punch.
Nothing will help Vince Young and the passing game more than those two (or three if Henry gets a look) running for solid yards.

And Diesel is a crap nickname.

 

a 5.7 yard carry?

I keep thinking you are Bipolar with the video sig.

 

4.7

 

No indication that white is a high average runner. Even as well as it seemed he was running yesterday his average was only 3.9. I'll predict 200 carries(14 a game for 14 games) for 800 yards.

Brown averaged 5.3 ypc this off season and wasn't hurt at all. He has to get some touches as well. I'll predict that brown gets 160 carries for 700 yards.



Chris henry looks like he couldn't get out of the way of one hornet's nest in a ten acre field and eddie's analysis of his running was stupid. Eddie was impressed that henry liked contact but henry showed no capacity to do anything else. Even power backs need some elusiveness. Henry just takes the ball and runs as fast as he can into people. A possible bust here..:(

 

LWs pre-season average was only 3.8. When Brown averaged that in 2005 people wanted the guy shipped out as left over crap. I have no problem giving White the start but I'm not sold on him being a real stud, more of a serviceable back with a decent amount of versatility in the passing game. Also, White gets stoned at the LOS as much as Brown. I do think he is a little better short yardage back than Brown but Brown will always have a better average because he is more explosive. Brown's 5.3 average also didn't include any real long runs to inflate the average. The guy has been solid the last two games. Brown's 5.3 in the pre-season was in line with his average in 2004 when he ran for almost 1100 yards. Brown may still be our best back.

 

Any USC back that has had success has got to be one of the best in the world, don't doubt him. Not only did he succeed at USC, he dominated, so I have no reason to doubt his dominance in the NFL. He did not make it to USC as bum, nor did he exit one, that bodes well. He entered a stud and left a stud with his stock rising, not falling. He's the real deal no matter what everyone seems to think. He's never failed. Why now. I think he's good for at least 1,100 yds and 16 td. And what is scary, is that I think Brown is the better back right now.
