Gerhart is not helping his cause by fumbling twice trying to kill the clock ffs... DWFs will not forget that.
EXCUSE ME, three times? oh my god. he's probably done for the year if not forever.
yeah he did and they usually came in bunches, don't know what that is about. Peterson fumbled 18 times over a 2 year span and all it took to fix it was drafting a White runningback that was extremely talented. What they figured out was he was constantly sticking his arm out to brace his fall, and sometimes the ball would be in that particular hand, it took SOMEONE else to figure out why he was fumbling so much to fix it. I am guessing Gerhart fumbles because he runs upright at times and if he is in traffic with a punishing style defenders will avoid body contact but try to punch that ball out. That was the other thing causing Peterson's fumbles, his upright style, can't really change that, but you can change how you fall. I think Hillis has the problem because he has 8 inch hands but a few were flukes like the 3 in Buffalo, that was so slippery. Most came when he didn't know when to give up, dragging several defenders its kind of hard to keep a firm grip on the ball the entire time, plus your almost at a dead stop which makes it easier for a defender to knock it out. I am pretty sure most bigger bruising backs fumble a little more than other backs. Tiki Barber was a lil guy that had trouble though, like 9 fumbles 3 out of 4 seasons, with the 4th one being 8 fumblesThe fumbles don't really matter at this point in the game but it makes him look bad. I recall he had fumble problems sometimes in the college game.
What was the scoop on Brian Hartline today? Only one catch.
Tom Iron...
I feel the same way. I can't even count on Burkhead to get a big workload in the upcoming weeks, there is just Zach Line, who amazes me every time he plays with how quick he is for a big guy, he moves like a much smaller back, he has improved as a runner, learning when to try to make people miss or just try to use power. Unfortunately they are hardly ever on tv.Looks to be another rather lousy week for White skill players, and the lone bright spots are mostly with the QBs and on the defensive side. Collie with a single target/reception, and don't even get me started with Hillis/Gerhart. I have to be honest, whether it's caste fatigue or some other reason(s), I'm finding that my interest in the NFL is dwindling rather rapidly. I'm sick and tired of spending every Sunday trying to find those handful of bright spots, and even they don't seem to happen anymore, as talented White players continue to receive the short end of the stick.
Where's Electric Slide when we need him to inject some optimism into the air?

they were on the bench for a good portion of the game with Tebow and McGahee leading the league in rushing plays, nice and rested when they had to go on the field, but of course in the eyes of the dwf they "constantly bailed him out"Where is the Broncos defense from last year. The Texans are very talented but the Broncos also are not putting up much of a fight. Manning has an uphill battle to try and make this a game.
Hartline should be thrown to 10-15 times a game. If Miami wants to win, get the ball in his hands more. He has the speed to make the big plays. Tannehill has to get a little more accurate and I'm sure he will in time. I feel bad for Tebow. He is the forgotten man and Sanchez despite the win is horrible and his accuracy sucks.
Charles had 233 yards rushing today. I'd say Hillis is a pure backup at this point, same with Gerhart with his fumbleitis.
