If Hillis isn't getting 80 to 90 percent of the snaps next week I can see dwfs start to question. Hardesty showed no "explosive" ability, averaging 3.1 ypc with 4 drops. 1 big play and that was it. The advantage Hillis has over Hardesty, besides being bigger, stronger, faster and a better...
true, that is frustrating, all of his plays have been up the gut, hard to break off a big one, they did run him once on a stretch play which he had a nice gain on. Compared to last week with Hardesty they ran mostly stretch plays. I can kind of understand not running the toss, they would usually...
Hillis is leading the team in rushing and has shown more ability than Hardesty. Shurmur would be run out of town if he was put at fullback anymore than a few snaps, he can't run block like an NFL fullback, hes lost the weight needed, and wasn't great at run blocking in the first place. I would...
Except Burkhead didn't get shut down, he had 96 rushing yards 1 td and 9 receiving yards, so over 100 yards from scrimmage. I don't think Burkhead has been shut down so far.
Martinez just has to work on his passing. Burkhead averaged over 5 ypc
Michael Dyer had 41 rushes for 141 yards, 3.4 ypc...
The coach is pulling Hardesty any time the running gets tough, inflating his ypc, so he inserts him on 1st and 10 where the defense is expecting pass and he gets a 4 or 5 yard gain, this happened the last series where it dropped to 3.8 and then put in on an easier play, ypc back up to 4. Now its...
The had Hillis in there if im not mistaken, had him fake up the middle which allowed Hardesty some separation. Too bad the roles weren't reversed, Hillis is a great receiver. Hardesty hasn't shown much running the ball, if there isn't a crease then he gets stuffed.
when did they shut down his hurdling?
Ive noticed that to, hes getting hit low before the los, and manages to fall forward for 3 to 6 yards. It shouldn't be big deal just to have a little jump over a defender
For the Saints fb Jed Collins gets a goal line touch for a td. Brock Bolen has had a...
Seems like he always calls it like that. It would make sense but he likes to air it out. Its a shame because Line has the ability to have some more 200 yard games, he has only had 1 so far in his career. Besides, I don't think Beachum has any energy left to run block in the 4th quarter, for 3...
This seems to be a problem with most White friendly programs, crappy corners. Just play some White guys at the position, no corner should be starting for d1 program if they give up over 200 yards to one receiver (Jenkins has 268 yards receiving and 3 tds). Stanford is another team that comes to...
I wonder what the hell Colt meant by this
"“Montario is fun to play with and he’s fun to be with out there,†quarterback Colt McCoy said. “In the huddle — after a big run when he makes guys miss — it brought some energy to the field. That was refreshing. I thought he did a great...
Toby Gerhart's start with Adrian Peterson out = 16 carries 77 yards 4.8 ypc 3 catches for 18 yards, almost identical stats to Hardesty, except he was facing a much better run d in Chicago who finished last year ranked 2nd in run defense, 6th if you go by ypc. Miami is in the bottom half so far...
Well, I think they are working too much on the passing game and neglecting the running game, the blocking hasn't been that good and the run plays haven't been that creative besides one or two in the first game, so a bigger back like Ridley is able to break a few more tackles and have a little...
I just watched all of the Browns-Dolphins game. Hardesty was not impressive. It looked like the only time the team put 8 in the box was on one short yardage play. However, having 1 less man to block shouldn't make the line that much better, they were opening up some nice holes for Hardesty to...
"I believe his 217 yards is the highest total for a white athlete since Drew Bennett’s infamous December 2004 game against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football in which he amassed 233 yards..."
Close, Kevin Curtis had 3 tds 221 yards on 11 catches against the Lions in 2007.
Well, many Browns fans are saying Hardesty showed flashes of being great. Some are even suggesting a 50/50 scenario now, some 60/40, I'm not sure who is supposed to be the 60 and who is supposed to be the 40 but one guy was blabbing on about how well Hardesty did. Yes he managed to not look bad...
How has the blocking been? better than the last few games with Hillis?
Edit: I guess it doesn't matter, 50+ yards on 10 carries, Hillis just earned himself into a 50/50 timeshare, even if he had 2 ypc for another 10 carries it would be 3.5. Two runs over 10 yards, I wasn't watching but I would...
Gerhart needs to find another team, hes never going to get enough carries behind Peterson. Peterson seems to slack off at times but it seems like every time Toby flashes some ability Peterson raises his playing level. He had 18 fumbles in 2 seasons, Gerhart enters and he cut it down to 1 and had...
He had a field day against TCU last year, I don't see it being much different this year. He had 94 yards rushing against UCF last year and I thought they were better than they are this year. I can't see any lower than a 90 yard average. He was great last year but looks even better this year.
Great to see Welker and Gronkowski tearing it up but upsetting to see Lawfirm lining up where Woodhead usually does, in shotgun, even got a carry if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah hopefully he gets stuffed. I see them running alot of trick plays, like reverses with Cribbs and Little. Hardesty probably can't take 20+ carries.
This sounds like bad blood b/w the coach and Hillis. If he was seen driving away from the stadium then its obvious he came to the stadium to...
