    I was happy to see him bust that big run, but every time he came in I thought "oh geez" and then when he got his usual 2 or 3 yards I thought "what a waste." My point about him not be consistent still applies, this game just emphasized the fact that his stats reflect a few big plays and a ton of bad ones.

    Every running back has a few big plays. It's how it works.

    Yea no ****, that's not the point. Lendale has had few huge plays which mask the fact he's worthless most of the time. Look and CJ's runs when from the Colt's game and compare them to Lendale's stats. He doesn't need any huge runs to keep his average up. He consistently gets 4,5,6 yard runs, while Lendale consistently gets 0,1,2 yard runs.

    Bottom Line: Lendale isn't a very good running back. All this "break tackles" crap is a lie. He didn't break any tackles on his big run today or the KC one. He's a good short yardage and goaline guy.

    LT must suck then.

    4.6
    2.6
    2.6
    5.3
    2.9
    3.7
    2.9
    5.5

    FYI, Chris Johnson's 16 yard run against the colts pushed him from 3.8 to 4.1
    Pushed it from a mediocre day to a good one.

    i don't think anyone would deny this has been a down year for LT. of course, he's also had over 4.0 YPC 5 out of the last 6 years.

    Those numbers are game averages, they don't show that LT has the huge boom and bust discrepancies that Lendale has. In many of LT's big games he's ran the ball for 4-7 yards on many downs, not 1 yard, -2 yards, 80 yards, no gain. And, yea, LT kinda has sucked this year...

    Chris Johnson went form 3.8 to 4.1...wow a big difference... I guess if you factor in the undue psychological weight most people give the 4.0 mark. That's nothing like Lendale White going from 2.1 to 3.8. Please.
