    I guess he has fumbled more than West/Tate. He is however our most electrifying runner. I think it's a little crazy he gets 0 snaps

    Gilbert must practice like a HOFer then ...Otherwise I have no idea how he ever gets on the field.

    Being an electrifying runner means little if you're a liability to put the ball on the ground.

    Just ask how the Saints defense appreciated AP being an "electrifying" runner circa 09 NFC championship.

    lol bad comparison so far but I get what you're saying. I still don't think Crow is a liability. Could be wrong

    How is that at all a bad comparison?

    And it doesn't matter what any of is think, the coaching staff sees Crow as a liability. Zero carries would say that as well. So it would tend to back up one of our opinions.

    Crow hits a hole with no dance moves.I don't think this new line can open one that quick. Our best back tandem is Crow and West,would love to see it if pettine stops luvin the player and start luvin the talent.

    He sat Gilbert in favor of Williams, Manziel in favor of Hoyer and West in favor of Crow the week previous.

    Care to get a clue...?

    And we are 5-3. I will concede that Pettine knows more than I do about football

    I think we would be better of going back to Crow / Tate. Crow had the 3 fumbles in one game but I don't recall any issues prior to that game. Our running game sucks enough that it is worth the gamble with our upcoming schedule. Hook him up working with Tiki Barber. He used to be a fumble machine before he became a stud.

    Im not sold on taint, he reminds me of a guy who when you need 1 yard he will get you 3 and when you need 5 yards he will get you 3.

    Well said.

    I kinda like how Pettine is handling the 3 RBs though. Tate is like the de facto starter, but when he ain't getting it done, more carries start going to West or Crowell. And those 2 seem to have the fire under their ass constantly to compete with each other to be the primary backup, which can only be good for the team.

    I like what I saw from West today. He executed in all aspects.

    His block set helped set up the touchdown. He caught a TD. And he didn't dance.. and was physical, finishing runs hard.

    He has some serious upside.

    Agree... check Pettine's post-game presser out. Talked about West earning his carries and an expanded role after "his best week of practice."

    Doesn't mean Crow won't get shots Thursday nite... with fresh legs he just might. But today? No...

    It does seem to me that a HC with an OC background is more tolerant of an RB losing a fumble here and there, than is a HC with a DC background. No data... just an impression...

    Saving him for Thurs., at least that's my story for now. Fresh legs early and late in the game.

    Beat the f'ing Bengals.
