I think it's time for Kyle Padron to get another chance to play. He started last year, almost 4,000 yards passing 31 tds 14 interceptions. McDermott outplayed him for most of the season but last week he was terrible with 2 picks and 50 percent completion ratio, this week even worse, 3 picks...
Justin Blatchford had a nice pass deflection stopping any momentum of a Mich St comeback, he had his receiver blanketed. They seem to have a ton of White dbs, I think the walk on system is helping them have this many Whites. It seems like teams are less willing to use scholarships on a White guy...
Yeah, Im not sure why Oklahoma was around 14 point favorites to win this game. Kllein finds a way to keep them winning, I don't see it being any different today, if not he will come close to it. Its the 9th ranked team vs the 8th ranked team.
Landry just picked off, Klein with another big run...
Do the coaches realize that its starting to get a little predictable when Line is going to run based on where he lines up? I am sure teams have caught onto it by now based on film. He lines up in one spot to run and one spot to pass block, at least for the most part. I guess it might be by...
Jacob Schmidt is having a good day for Northwestern, 15 carries for 110 yards 2 tds. If Line goes over 100 that will be 3 White runningbacks today to hit the 100 yard mark. If Brandon Wegher was still at Iowa there would be 3 White runningbacks in the big 10. Jacob Schmidt isn't technically a...

"Collinsworth on playing what is now stereotyped as a black man's position, and being compared only with white receivers (Lance Alworth et al.):"I see myself as someone who has to grit his teeth and scratch for everything he does. I can't get out there and prance...
Probably not, he was having problems with his hamstring in preseason as well as his back, missing practice and snaps and an entire preseason game. It was said to be precautionary but it looks like it may have lingered, hamstring injuries can vary in seriousness. It could have been minor and...
Nice find, I just downloaded it and encourage everyone too as well. Youtube has been pulling positive Tebow videos, even some of his college videos.
Love his confidence about running the ball, I don't think a White guy has been like that since John Riggins who started refusing to block when he...
a hamstring injury is stopping Hillis at this point. There is no conspiracy, there would be no reason for Shurmur to come out and say Hillis will be starting if he didn't believe that to be the truth. Regardless of how much Hardesty sucked he had momentum with his 95 yards and this misconception...
Never heard of a normal man being 4'9. I guess they let anybody suit up these days. I have had multiple back injuries, the doctor says if a defender spears me in the wrong spot I could become paralyzed, can I walk onto the team too, would they try to find a place to put me? i mean it shows...
Well, someone mentioned that it would be nothing short of a miracle if Line averaged 75+ yards a game against TCU, UCF and Southern Miss, he averaged 120+ yards for these 3 games. At this pace he will wind up with 1400+ yards rushing (not including a bowl game or c-usa championship game). They...
wow, just wow. I could understand if he were actually grinding out the clock out but he only rushed for 2 first downs. 33 carries and only 2 first downs, I think any back can get over 3 ypc on 1st and 10 or 2nd and long. Getting first downs and tds in goal line situations brings down ypc, not...
The Colts are a team that could use Toby Gerhart. None of their backs are special. Addai is supposed to be but not even close, just alot of wasted movement.
Where has Austin Collie gone? Its been Painter forcing the ball to Garcon the entire night.
Jed Collins with his 3rd rushing td for the...
Hardesty 33 carries 95 yards ZERO tds. Only TWO rushing first downs. Thats a total of 6 first downs and zero touchdown on 73 carries with a 3.2 ypc. Some fans are trying to describe him as "grinding the clock out". Two first downs is not grinding the clock out. His longest rush for the season is...
Imo Whites were being phased out of the position in the 70's. I think it started in the late 50's, and 60's with Jim Brown. He led the league in yards, but he also led the league in carries and has been given this mythical status by the msm that can't be touched. Runningback was one of the...
Then the SEC fanboys will claim they have the best conference because they beat up on each other every week. You can't win with them.
Not listed as a caste matchup but Purdue is up 21 to 0 on the hyped up Illinois.
Hillis hasn't practiced all week but is listed as questionable for this week's game. Usually guys that don't practice are listed as doubtful or ruled out for the game. Hopefully he can get healthy by then and put up some numbers.

"Veteran C Olin Kreutz is walking away from the Saints because "he no longer feels passion and doesn't want to just collect paycheck," according to his agent.
It's just as well for the Saints. The...
it is important. People think runningbacks are one of the most athletic position on the field, you can't get by with "craftiness" like wide receiver, it is just athletic ability and vision but its hard for announcers to discredit a great rb, the only thing is "great blocking" which pretty much...
He hasn't practiced all week, I think its pretty safe to say the Texan's guy was brought in for depth. Hardesty was used because they spent high draft picks on him. He was serviceable against the Dolphins when the box wasn't loaded and then did crappy the next week which is when they started...
the guy has been in the league for years and hasn't done squat. Its just a signing for depth. Hillis has a hamstring issue right now, Hardesty sucks and they waived Armond Smith who showed no improvement despite being fast. Chris had 3 carries for 6 yards this year, for the Texans. If you can't...
When a guy has so much "upside" but you can't find out a role for him...that is not good. Woodhead has more athletic ability and probably weighs more than McKnight, who is taller but looks like a pencil. Danny can play runningback, wide receiver and is a great special teams player as well. He...
