Redskins Choose Tashard

[calia]

With our line play right now, there isn't anyone who is likely to rack up a lot of yards. So Choice will come in and suffer like our existing backs are suffering, and everyone with think that this is a wasted pickup (which it probably is).

I think he still has something in the tank. Good, he can get 1 carry a game, just like our other backs.

Hehe well played sir!

Generally speaking I don't understand why Helu isn't getting the opportunity to get in a rhythm. Give him 10 carries in a qtr and see what happens at least. He must have earned some trust as a blocker since he's in there on 3rd down. So why not try him as an everydown back?

I think he is there on 3rd down for two reasons:

1. Torain is really suspect as a blocker if the defense blitzes on 3rd down

2. Helu has good hands should he be the outlet receiver. (Highly unlikely he will ever be the targeted receiver because the Redskins seem to be allergic to screen passes this year...)

Then he should get a lot of action, cause 3 and out is our favorite play. Its been a staple of our offense for years, its like the ol counter tre.

Soooo he could/should be tried as an everydown back? Helu also looks like our quickest RB and far quicker than Torain.
