I thought overall he looked good, it would have been real nice to see Travis in there though. I think if Travis was playing that there would have defenitely been more yards on the ground for us, it looked to me that the O line had made some nice lanes for Willis to run through, but that he seemed hesitant to hit the hole ( whereas Travis picks a hole and explodes )... I think that, that is the "rust" that Willis has to knock off... Overall though, defenitely positive!!
What did everyone think of McGahee's performance??

I thought what I have thought all along: Willis will be a nice backup for Travis, at least for this year. Willis still lacks the burst and the ability to make sharp cuts.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Originally posted by mypoorfriendmeif its one thing willis is NOT lacking, its ability. i dont think theres anyone that can argue that. he has the burst and for damn sure has the ability. what willis needs to do is slowly work his way back into game speed, which is what he is doing by playing these preseason games. id say by midseason, he will be 100% and hitting the holes without any hesitation in his mind (like we see now)
For now, let's not even pretend that Willis is ready to be our 25 carries per game, feature RB.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Obviously he's not yet playing like he did as a Miami Hurricane. I'm not as yet worried that he won't, but I don't know that we can really predict when or if he will eventually. I'd like to believe he will and that it will be sooner rather than later. I do think the more carries he can get the faster it will come.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

I agree that he is not showing 100% yet, but I think it is a combination of mental readiness as well as not wanting to get hurt in preseason. Smart move, since his $$$ is related to how he performs during the season, not pre-season. Granted he needs to shake the rust, but at this point why risk it (in his mind I'm sure).
What's the latest on TH? Will he be ready 9/12?
