Whatever it is, I'll assume it's affecting him. Luckily we have our bye next week which should give him some extra rest.

Also I concur on Trent Williams. That's 3 weeks that for the most part (excluding his 4th quarter against D.Ware last week) he's played really well. I remember James Hall had a pretty good game against him in our matchup against them last year, and James Hall was pretty quiet today.

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

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.

I don't know what you're disagreeing about exactly. I'm telling you he's banged up. I'm not guessing that he is. He is

Why risk further injury when you have Torain and Helu and a bye week coming up?

I think so too. Some nice idiot hit a power line in my area so power was out till 4pm, but listening to the radio for most of the 1st half I was supprised with how many times Hightower missed the cut back hole though. It sounded like on 4 run plays he missed the cut back lane and tried to force it outside which only got him a yrd or two when had he cut back there were big holes. Then Torain came in and was hitting the cut back lanes for big yrds.

Nothing against Hightower but it seemed Torain was trying to show the coaching staff they made a mistake having him sit for so long. It always seemed to take more then 1 or 2 people to bring him down today and on his TD run he looked like Superman flying into the endzone. Then there was a run where he dragged/carried a LB 6 yrds before being brought down.

Re: The Running Game
Great seeing Torain out there though, running with a purpose.

Considering how well running backs play under Mike Shanahan it must suck to be cut by him. It's like if you can't make it as a running back playing for MS...you probably can't make it at all.

Chester doesn't get a lot of pub but he was a great pick up for us. Definitely helped solidify the o-line.
