I'm ready to see a little more CJ. I know he only had two carries, but I thought they were both good runs. Lets up those carries a few, Chan.

Re: Spiller
They have to find a way to get CJ the ball in space. I realize that Freddy is playing at a real high level right now, but Spiller is too dangerous to not be getting him more touches in the offense.I only drink when I'm alone or with others.

Re: Spiller
No way. Freddie is a better player, by FAR. Give the ball to the guy who will more likely do something good with it."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

Spiller's running very well this year, but you just can't take the ball away from Freddy at all. If it ain't broke ....."It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error." -- Martin Luther

Spiller is impressive, and he is ready to play at this level. Our current WR situation is getting ridiculous. I keep hoping that he'll get in to play a little WR. Ahhhh...what am I talking about? Freddy is better by "FAR," you shouldn't give anybody else the ball, because, you know, he'll "do something good with it."

Re: Spiller
Whether fans realize it or not, this is the ideal situation for any coach/team. It's not just QB's who play better when they get the opportunity to sit and learn for a few years in a good system behind a very good starter...

But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Spiller
I'd like to see Spiller get the ball a little more too, as he's been impressive, IMO, with his limited touches. Running much better this year.
But at the same time, Fred is doing so well that it's hard to take the ball out of his hands when you're running it. Like Gailey said, there's only one ball."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Spiller
Originally posted by ddarylThere has to be reasons why they don't put him on the field as much and that probably means his route running, blocking and other intangibles are not where they need to be to dictate more time on the field
And he said himself that this year he wants to be more of a north south runner and it showed.
I understand why Gailey said that Spiller is the odd man out. You just cannot take Jackson out of the offense right now. But I'm just little worried about Jackson, being 30 year old, taking the kind of work load he is taking right now. My bet is that Spiller will have his chance later in the season.
My main concern with Donald Jones out is that we suddenly have absolutely no deep threat at all. Spiller has the speed, but he cannot fight off corner jamming on the outside. We now pretty much have guys who can run slantsreceiver screens, etc. The defense is going to catch on very quickly.

Re: Spiller
The problem is that all our games have been close except for KC. Jackson's experience shines through when its tight so you can't put CJ on the field when the game is on the line.
We need to get a lead and keep it by running the football because when the weather turns we're not going to be able to pass quite as well.
We should get leads as we are and then start pounding the ball with FJ and CJ.

Re: Spiller
I was thinking the same thing. Freddie is doing awesome, but why not preserve him a little by giving Spiller a few more touches? Fans are calling Spiller a bust, but he's averaging 7.1 ypc right now. So it's not like he's struggling with the carries he's had, he's just not getting any.
