All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

All of Henry's yards came in garbage time. Neither one was very impressive today but I think McGahee looked a little better than Travis. If it were up to me, I would make Willis the starter next week.
There was one point that WM was in the game and so were we in the 3rd...and he was gaining yards and moving the ball into the red zone. Then we threw a pass on first down inside the 10 like morons and screwed it up. We should have ran WM down there four times if need be. WM was a part of the offense moving the ball until DB threw an interception...TH did nothing when it mattered.
Willis was better. He got yards wehn there were none. Henry looked awful. He had 1 20 yard run in garbage time when the Ravens were playing pass and did not care.
I see neither had great stats:
Henry 7 carries 27 yds lng of 19 3.8 avg 0TD
McGahee 16 carries 58 yds lgn of 15 3.6 avg 0TD
So who had the better game as the stats are almost identical although from the looks of it Henry got his ass benched at one point or another.
DB,
I don't think it's as much about stats as what each running back brings to the table. WM has the ability to break runs, knock people over, and make yards in short yardage situations. That's why I think he should start.
I say Willis. I don't remember seeing Henry make Ray Lewis miss.
But, having said that, both of those guys could have been utilized better in the redzone. This up the gut mentality every time is killing us.
The thing is we needed to run up the gut last week with TH and couldn't...but we won anyway. This team today we definately had no business running between the tackles...WM should have started and ran sweeps all day long. On DB first int we should never have thrown the damn ball again.

Ohh I agree wholeheartidly but I cant see the games so can only go by stats so thats a big reason I started these type threads, to see what people who saw the game think.
COMING SOON...

What I've noticed so far about McGahee is his patience. When the gap closes up, he'll do his stutter step or something, and find a way to gain a couple of yards.
Henry on the other hand, will just run straight into the wall, trying to make a hole or something, instead of bouncing it to the outside.
McGahee is our runningback... Henry is now trade bait for this offseason.

I agree 100%. WM seems to have the power as well.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.

Anyone who cannot see that Willis is clearly the better running back is just plain ****ing stupid. Seriously, if I was Travis Henry I would appoint Willis the starter myself. Ideally, I wish Henry would accept this fact and be cool with it.

It would be ideal but it will never happen. As I said at the start of the season, having two starting RBs in the backfield (in their particular situation) was going to create more problems than answers.
