The Running Game

oh crap .. that's not good, hope it's not too serious

No it's nothing serious. He's just not 100% to be carrying the load full time right now

I agree with the Hightower "injury" .. he has ran different in past couple weeks .. HOWEVER .. the bottom line is freaking great .. Shanny has done it again .. he has built a team around an O-Line that can run his scheme ... Torrain was a surprise today and just looked great like he left off right from last year ... Helu is just unreal and is going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch grow over the next few years ... It's such a great mix I'm speechless .. we can really pound the rock, Kyle just needs to know that we can keep doing that when we have a lead and shorten the game ... hmmm great defense .. solid O & D lines ... depth ... great running game .. sound like the keys to something ??? Yep, Success ... 3-1 .. go Cardinals !

reputed redskins hatter said something in the postgame i agree with.

hightower stretches everything to the outside
helu cutbacks every chance he gets
ATV looks for the 1st cut and turns up field

it seems like with hightower, he almost always keeps stretching the play until hes on the sideline. what happened to that beautiful cutback run he had against the ravens 1st team D? helu is good no doubt but ATV seem to be just right. 1 cut turn upfield and lower the shoulder.

Offensive lines should replace running backs in fantasy football. Only give up a certain amount of sacks, you get points, give up to many sacks, loose points. Pave the way for your running back points.

+1

Would there be enough OLs to divide between among a league though?

Torain was one of the few bright spots last year. The guy runs like he's running from the cops. Good to see him back in there.

Hightower's not healthy. What exactly is up I don't know. But I know something is up

Can't agree with that. I think it's the playcalling or maybe Hightower is giving the stretch run outside it's chance to develop and it never does. Even the one or two runs to the outside for Torain went for very little to nothing. I can only remember Helu gaining significant yardage on the same type of play (all-season) once or twice. I do wish Torain had Hightower's more durable body or Hightower had Torain's vision.

Racist statement.

Torrain was impressive, definately seems to be a Skins style back...I hope our FB get's well soon...imagine him power blocking for Torrain at the goalline.
I don't think Hightower can do "power rushing" the way Torrain can.

Oh yeah...after 4 games have you guys notices the dramatic improvement in the interior line?...particularly at Center?

Have you guys seen the Center pushed back 5-10 times a game this year?
The Skins addressed one of our greatest weaknesses and boy...what a difference!

One thing's for sure if we can't run the ball our offense is in trouble. We need the run game to consistently succeed on offense.

This team reminds me of the Titans before their recent collapse. Run the ball, get after the QB, do just enough through the air to win.
