What About Our Rushing Woes?

[WG]

What's the solution?

[casdhf]

Where is Sammy Morris on this list anyways?

[WG]

Is that your solution?

Lets see who we face. Remember the game TH had against the Jets? We must have noticed that the Jets have a soft run D, unlike Minn and Denver. The lack of run has much more to do with Gilbride than Henry. That's because passing is working! The fumbles are Henry's fault, not the lack of yards.

Other.

If the Bills play a team that match up evenly with them, there will be more of a balanced attack. The Jets gave us everything and the Bills took everything. The Vikings game I didn't see but it seems they couldn't stop the pass so the Bills passed. Denver is very balanced on D and the Bills took what they could get, combined with playing from behind, the pass was used more.

Are any of the backs going to do well if the Bills OL is not as good as the DL they're playing against or down by 14 and forced to throw to move the chains?

On the other hand, I don't see any difference in the level of talent between Henry and Bryson.

[clumping platelets]

Each RB has different qualities thus platooning more could help, however, the running game has suffered somewhat from the Bills being behind and needing to score quickly. Also, in the Minnesota game, the Vikes were daring us to pass with the run blitzes........do whatever it takes to win the game!!!

[WG]

Exactly! Do whatever it takes to win the game.

Apparently running Henry until the cows come home ain't helpin' us win games.

I'm not necessarily saying that Bryson is better. All I'm saying is let's switch it up a bit and see what's goin' on. I mean if Bryson were to start running well and Henry still can't do it, then we'd have to conclude that it isn't the OL. If not, then what are we losing. It's not like Henry, other than on a few individual plays, is helping us anyway. On most of them he's harming the team's effort in a big way.

I also agree that it's Gilbride's responsibility to mix things up enough to keep the Ds off balance which IMO hasn't happened to any significant degree. If we didn't have a huge talent differential in the first two games between our O and the Jets' and Vikes' Ds, then we wouldn't have done so well. That's why we didn't put up the huge yards and points in the Denver game.

I would start Henry this week but if he fumbles he should be yanked for the rest of the game for Bryson.

[justasportsfan]

I voted for trying Henry one more game. If we however try Bryson, I don't think he should be in for just one series. Le thim touch the ball a whole game.

Two things could come from this, Bryson could be the guy ,or it's sends Henry a message. Stop dropping the @$#%^& ball.

[WG]

You got it just!

Indeed, it wouldn't be fair to give Bryson 8 carries and then say "see, he sucks too." LOL

[4thAndLong]

Bryson flat out sucks. He cant break any tackles and is a poor excuse for a football player. Trade his ass while he still has some small value.

[Ð]

Other than Denver, name one team that has successfully platooned RB's....

[4thAndLong]

St. Louis (Faulk, Canidate)

San Fransisco (Hearst, Barlow)

Pittsburgh is on their way to doing that...New York Giants..

[WG]

Let's try Burns then!

Heck, I'm flexible...
