WHY?
Run blocking is easier than pass blocking too.

Re: Bad line play is no excuse for JP but is the #1 excuse for Willis
Thomas made the run blocking look better. When there was even the slightest hold he ran in there right away. WM is not doing that. WM is a much better runner sideline to sideline and it looks to me that the backs need to be in different situations. -

A train ran harder and better than willis did so why not give A train a shot at the starters position? didn't DJ and Marv say ALL positions are open for competition?Originally posted by THATHURMANATORComment

No it looks to me we need ONE COMPLETE back. Willis isn't it and is never going to be.Originally posted by Typ0Comment

I'm just not sure that's true. It would be nice to see WM in a situation where he can take control of a game and when are we ever in that situation? I do see a difference in the runners but that doesn't mean WM isn't any good. He also is the type of guy who gets better over the course of the game and he's a much bigger receiving threat than Atrain...but we really can't capitalize on his strenghts with the current state of the offense.Comment

Sorry thurm, you can't use that for Willis because he had a knee injury and Losman only had a broken leg.Comment

Re: Bad line play is no excuse for JP but is the #1 excuse for Willis
Randy Moss is one of the best receivers in the game. When you don't have an O-line it makes your skill positions look alot worse. When your O-line is excellent it makes your skill positions look better than they are i.e. Matt Hasselback.
Can you imagine Matt Hasselback on the Bills? That's why the criticism of JP is a joke. Look at how bad Carson palmer played until Cincy got a line. Really hard to develop a young QB behind a bad line. Eli Manning, in my opinion, is still mediocre and plays behind an excellent line.Comment

look how mediocre palmer looks behind this years bengals line who has been down 2 starting pro bowl caliber o lineman this year hes been jump balling alot of passes.
BUT cincy does have a slew of 6'3 wrs so they will make plays sometimes. unlike our 4 clones at wr.
dont get me wrong i like our wrs but we are flawed int he fact that we do not have 1 large wrComment

Maybe, as I have been saying all along, he's not that good. He's not a top 5 back. He might not even be a top 10 back.Originally posted by THATHURMANATORComment

Willis is a good back. He just isn't one of those who can dominate a game by himself. He isn't one that you build an offense around.Comment
