    No it wont...him and Luavao will need a month to get back in game shape...atleast lauvao will...

    It shouldn't take him that long. He just hasn't practiced in a couple weeks and played in the last preseason game so he should get up to speed pretty quick.

    Maybe..I really dont think much is gonna happen till...

    A. They get in better synch.

    B. Put Little on the bench and start Coop and Bess...and maybe give Gurley a shot...

  • How many times did they show that no WR were open down the field.. like they were chained to the DBs

  • I'm in favor of Little seeing the bench. Cooper seems to catch everything thrown to him and I liked the little we saw of Gurley last week, dude is freaking huge. Little doesn't get open and cant catch when he is open.

    Little actually looks worse than Braylon Edwards at this point...

    This week the playcalling was much better, I thought. The lack of receiving weapons was the problem. Little played terrible, Benji did nothing. It will look different when Gordon is out there. You can count on it.

    I'm in favor of seeing Little as Gordon's #2 for a couple weeks.

  • My question is this....why is TRich only getting 18 carries in a game we are leading most of the way? If we were trailing, I can see throwing...but while we are ahead? Really?

    I dont remember having them on the ropes at any point in time to give up on the pass.

  • Never said to give up on the pass...just why abandon the run? #3 overall pick and can't get 20+ carries? And he's asking for more!

  • Week 1: 13 carries for 47 yds

    Week 2: 18 carries for 58 yds

    Just how low do you want his productivity to go? His running was simply not effective.

    Not saying it's all on him, but his running was not effective.

    After Rices fumble was the play that pissed me off when they didn't run...we were 15 yards from field goal range. They should be running on 1st down about 70 percent of the time.

    I'm not sure where you're going with this but you do realize that, with patchwork offensive line and our #1 receiver still out of the lineup, that calling pre snap audibles would do more harm than good?

    I'm assuming from your post that you've never actually played football, because if you had even played pee pee football you'd realize that audibling is something that is reserved for players with a full grasp of the play book and all of the nuances of the offense.

    We have a second year QB, second year RB, a glorified rookie WR across from a third year year WR, an OL replete with youngsters guys playing out of position and a rookie HC and new OC installing a fundamentally different offense than what we ran last year, and you're pissed because we're not calling audibles by Week 2?

    C'mon man.

    Did you see Russell Wilson calling audibles at the line tonight? He's got a back that is fucking deaf and he was changing plays at the line of scrimmage a whopping 18 games into his professional career. Please tell us more about your extensive playing career that ended in high school.
