Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I understand that Mike Mularkey thinks that Travis Henryis the better back right now but sometimes you have to play a different back who will be better for you in different situations. If Travis Henry is running well but McGahee will be better in short yardage situations than use McGahee in those short yardage situations. For example Duce Staley right now is a better back than Jerome Bettis in Pittsburgh. It doesn't matter how well Staley is running that day, Jerome Bettis is used in goal line situations. Why, because Bettis is better in short yardage and gives their team a better chance to get the ball in the endzone. Pittsburgh is in 1st place in their division and is using a rookie quarterback.
