VABills Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 excellent post, man. way to slip some partisan political gibberish into a discussion of a football game. 73371[/snapback] Hey he was wondering how the stupidity exists, and I explained. The same stupidity comes out of both political parties so don't get your panties in a wad. But these folks have said Drew sucks for so long, they wouldn't know if it's his fault or not. They are incapable of looking at a game completely open minded to determine the problems, and even if they did they wouldn't know how to recognize it.

ajzepp Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Before I get slammed, you all know I think Travis is a Very Good Back. I don't believe he'll ever be an ELITE back, however. He's tough, and he deserves respect as a player. But he couldn't have made at least 6 of the plays Willis made today. Willis' legs are so powerful there's only one guy you can compare him to: Edgerrin James. Just when you think they stuffed a run and stopped his forward progress, he'd emerge - somehow - through the pile for an extra 3. He got the hard yards, he made much of little holes (don't forget - the fins have a great run D) and FOUND A WAY TO GET IT DONE, which is the most important aspect of his performance. He shows that "It" that you have to have. Granted, it's only one starting performance, but it was a helluva first performance to get 111 against this defense with an OLine that hasn't exactly been pushing people backwards. And to top it all off, in his postgame interview, Willis was humble. He credited the line and reminded the reporters that Travis is the starter and he's just doing his job. I don't believe Travis would have showed that level of class if he had played in place of an injured Willis. 73166[/snapback] Great post.....I totally agree......Some of the people who are pointing out the things that Wills didn't do right today kill me.....it was the guy's first start in the NFL! Give him a break....he showed a ton, especially when you consider his circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOOOOOO Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Man, I have to strongly, strongly disagree. McGahee was excellent the entire game. Some of his two and three yard runs were absolutely terrific. He got very few holes and made most of his yards on his own. At one point they showed that he had 82 or his 84 yards after he was hit. A couple first downs that he got on 3 yard runs were fantastic runs. He never gave up, he rarely if ever went backwards or down on the first hit. It usually took 2-3 Dolphins to take him down. He came up big on third downs on passes and runs. I saw him miss one block but he blocked well for the most part. The one pass he dropped was not going to be a first down anyway and wasnt a great pass to him. Willis was terrific today. 73338[/snapback] The same could be said for alot of Henry's games.......making negative plays into positive, getting those extra 2-3 yds a play after the intial hit....Bottom line we got two good backs... We gotta use dem both next week.....and I think Mularkey will.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Bush bad, Kerry good. Same mentality. No real facts, but they have been saying the same thing for so long they don't know any better. I hope their hotpockets hurry up so they stop typing the stupidity. 73354[/snapback] Maybe if I sprinkled it with flightsuit wearin, Halliburton runnin, nose pickin goat reference to the offense, there would be agreement.

Drey Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Seems to me that Sammy Morris had a better day today than Willis (at least as far as yds/carry). Maybe we should get him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
