Actual Football Question

[thevorlon]

Why is Lane not more involved with the offense? Does he not practice well or something? Cause it seems like they yank him once he gets rolling every game? It be interesting to compare his yards per carry to Neals

 

[Volunteer forever]

I cant figure this out either. Lane clearly can get more yards. I cant wait to see how Lane and Hurd do next year

 

[Freak]

I wonder the same. It has defied logic at times this season.

For the year, Lane averages 5.6 yards per carry while Neal averages 5.1.

Lane has some injury and legal clouds hanging over him. Other than that ... I don't know.

More speed, hits the holes harder, runs North & South without dancing, YPC greater..and does NOT go down on first contact...

Sounds like a backup to Butch

It is really a head-scratcher and one of the main reasons I question the ability of this coaching staff. They must see something that we are not privy to because there really is no comparison between the two on the field.

He's not injured now nor is he in jail unless you know something I don't.

Last time I saw the stats there wasn't much ypc difference. However, it's obvious that Lane is a better RB for what this O-line does.

This is one of the things that frustrates and infuriates me and I honestly think it's the coaches worrying too much about his practice habits and the message it would send to the rest of the team if they let him be the workhorse.

Am I the only one that thought the OC didn't do a very good job of play calling yesterday. Even the broadcasters said they needed to turn the offense loose if they wanted to win.

The broadcasters mentioned this several times during the game.

That's why they're not coaches. North was injured in the 1st quarter and he seems to be the only WR right now that can get open and catch the ball too.

What plays would anyone else have called? No North to throw to, line can't open a hole. What do you call?

Matt Millen thought we needed more WRs.

Dude all im saying is that it's pretty bad when any broadcaster can see there needs to be changes to the play calling. And furthermore North could catch a pass but keep in mind the ball has to get there first.
