  • @ chicopee: while chud designs the schemes, he's not the guy running the ball. if lewis runs like shit and doesn't go where he's supposed to, chud can't control that.

    he may, however, be the guy keeping lewis in the game, and if he is, he sucks.

  • Which group of you guys ripped me a new a-hole about 6 weeks ago when I called out Jamal Lewis as being done?

    After seeing some of the nice holes we opened up for him yesterday or the good lead blocks Vickers threw for nothing, I'm completely convinced that Lewis is washed-up. A decent NFL back would have put up 120 yesterday. Lewis in his heyday would have put up 160.

  • Lewis isn't washed up, but he has lost a few steps. He's still a powerful runner, and a leader on the offense.

    Beanie Wells would be a nice complement to him, with his power AND excellent speed... for next year.

    Beanie gets nicked up too often. I question his durability. Love the kid, but I hate injuries.

  • i pretty much agree with inspecta. lewis could still help us if he weren't playing all the time, but it's having him out there every down that's killing us more than having him on the team.

    as we've all said many times, it's just that our coaches don't want to be smart and use a RBBC like successful NFL teams do.

  • I agree with every sentiment on this board...

    Play calling is to conservative..

    Jamal is running like he is running into retirement. Running into walls of flesh instead of looking for holes.. Reminds me of that other running back. William Green... Never hit the line hard at all, and never seem to be the kind of back that could improvise...

    Which we have seen Harrison do.

    Harrison doesn't get enough time, but when he does, he get's yardage... Why is Jamal still on the field.

    Dorsey might be ok. Anyone remember Steve Young.

    Get the ball in Cribbs hands more...

  • @ brownskidd: dorsey already has some starts under his belt. granted, they were for a putrid san francisco squad, but he just doesn't have the arm strength to make it in the NFL unless he's in a west coast offense, which we don't run.

    I never got to see him play for Frisco... And you are right, he's not a real big guy. But neither was another QB that I know of... Kosar..

  • kosar had always been brilliant, though. dorsey was a game manager in college. kosar's mind was what made him great. dorsey doesn't have that.

  • Fact is Dorsey isn't going to be any worse then Anderson was Sunday. It will be the same game plan. Run, run, run, and short dump offs.

    What would be smart is to incorporate Cribbs into a couple of sets with a limited number of plays, not just have him take the snap and run. He can handoff just as well as Dorsey can, plus he could keep it or throw it.

    Can't do worse then no TDs in last 8 qtrs.
