[Jimmy Chitwood]

Brian Leonard has 2 carries for 11 yards in the first quarter.

interestingly, Steven Jackson in the first quarter already has nearly as many touches as Brian had the whole last game when HE was the starter. Brian had 12 touches for the game against Seattle last week. Jackson already has 10 touches.

i wonder why Brian wasn't featured the same way.

edited to put it on backrow's thread

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Brian just got three carries in a row... all right up the middle. the first for 4 yards, on a 2nd and 5.

then he was stuffed on 3rd and 4th up the gut.

 

[whiteathlete33]

No catches for Curtis yet, only one for Furrey.

 

[backrow]

Kevin Curtis just had a big 33 yard catch. finally!

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Brian's numbers look like crap! he lost a bunch of yards on one run off left tackle.

on the other hand, Drew Bennett is looking good today. 4 catches for 44 yards in the first half.

 

[backrow]

yeah, he lost like 5 yards or so... he has now 2.0 ypc in the game. lets hope that Linehan won't stop running the ball in the second half.

 

[White Shogun]

How in the world do the Titans ever win any games with Radio at quarterback? That game is at the half and he is 2/6 for 16 yards so far!?

[Guest]

How bad is Steven Jackson's injury?

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Dallas Clark hasn't even been thrown to yet... is anyone watching that game? is he hurt or something?

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

ask and you shall receive! Dallas Clark with an 11-yard catch!

now, can i get a long touchdown run by Brian Leonard?

 

[referendum]

Backrow, also Aaron Halterman of Miami, which has two white pass catchers today, imagine that.Edited by: referendum

The live blogger for Sports Illustrated is not a Leonard fan:


Battle of the backup tailbacks
02:14 PM | Jason Wright looks a lot better than Brian Leonard, plus he's a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield.


Travis Minor toting the ball
03:07 PM | With Steven Jackson out (thanks to the loyal viewers for the specific update) and Brian Leonard ineffective, it's former Dolphin Travis Minor getting some carries for the Rams.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

I can't believe Brian has more carries than Jackson. Did Jackson get re-injured? I can't see the game out here, as usual.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Minor has one carry as of right now, not some as this anti-white Caste garden tool says.

Also, Joe Jurevicius is having a good game, with 5 for 76.

 

[Guest]

I can't believe Brian has more carries than Jackson. Did Jackson get re-injured? I can't see the game out here, as usual.

Jackson injured his back.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Ah, ok. Well that explains it. Maybe Brian will break a long one soon. Drew Bennett is having a decent game, but they need to score some points. Minor still has just one carry, not some.

 

[backrow]

Brian got stuffed on 3rd and 4th and 1. but what needs mentioning is what Linehan tried to do: running Leonard from a single back formation versus 9 in the box... i mean WTF!

 

[White Shogun]

Leonard is stuffed on two carries in a row. The Rams gave him the ball on 3rd and 1, and again on 4th and 1, no gain.

Looks like Cleveland will win the game.

EDIT: Beat me to it backrow. I can't watch the game, I'm just following it on Yahoo Game Center. I was wondering why they weren't passing more as well. Edited by: White Shogun

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Just more proof that even when they are in the game, whites are still being discriminated against. The deck is literally stacked against them. I don't understand the mentality that would put this kind of treatment ahead of winning. Surely they have formations for Brian to get some blocking in short yardage situations?

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Another stellar performance by the QB o' the future. Young was 6 of 14 for 42 and 7 for 11 on the ground. Still they win, and I'm sure he'll get all the credit.

 

[Lance Alworth]

Another stellar performance by the QB o' the future. Young was 6 of 14 for 42 and 7 for 11 on the ground. Still they win, and I'm sure he'll get all the credit.

Of course. They won due to Vince Young's "leadership" Of course, it doesn't hurt that they had like 150 yards rushing, but it was mainly due to the leadership of one Vince Young

 

[Guest]

Another incredible performance by Vince Young. There is nothing he can't do, and no game he can't win.

 

[backrow]

hey, if Young is the best they have, they ain't got sh*t. soon enough even fans will see him for what he is.

 

[backrow]

lol, Vrabel just scored on his 10th career reception, for 10 career TD

his second of the season.

Brady already tied his career high with 28 TD passes
