No. It was a great catch by Bryant, that's all

It is Awesome having the quality and depth in the backs we have available. It apparently creates a healthy competition between them as well. REALLY great to ATV looking like that today......

All I know is Hightower is going downhill statwise for 3 weeks in a row. I have him as my flex option and backup RB, but he might find himself on the bench ASAP. I have Sproles and Kendrick Smith as my young studs. I might try to use Hightower as trade bait.

I disagree. I think "banged up" is code for "he sucks."

I think you are right sir. TH's ypc is not very good, especially the last two games. I am not sure, but I don't think it is 3 ypc.

I think I probably should've made it more clear, that was sarcasm. Hightower, for whatever reason, whether it be injuries, hasn't had very many big moments so far this season, except for his effective first half against AZ. But I do think he's injured, because I saw him wearing what looked like a shoulder harness on the field today and I don't think players normally wear those when they're not injured.

Either way idc if he's injured or not, because it's obvious we have a very nice triplet scenario at the moment. If he can't pound the rock, we have 2 other guys that can.

I am beside myself with joy! Talk about using the right tool for the job! I just love how we tailored the running backs to the immediate need. You need a stretch runner? There's an app for that - Hightower. Gaps aren't opening up and you need a hard north/south runner? There's an app for that - Torain. Need a cutback magician? - Helu.

Gotta mix it up still though, otherwise defenses know what's coming at them with whoever is in the backfield.

Good point. Shanny should have just said TH was having a tough day at the office and put Ryan in for a different look or give TH a break. Nobody in here has mentioned anything about him getting really bange up in the g ame, unless it is heldover from the Boys debacle.

Running the ball and playing good D never goes out of style.
