Lendale White is worthless.

[DC Vol]

agreed on the ravens' defense. and i wouldn't compare him to Jacobs at all. BJ is faster and a whole lot harder to deal with from a power, speed and size standpoint. i don't know that anyone compares with him.

white just reminds me of a poor man's Jerome Bettis.

True. White will never be a featured back. But, to call LenDale White a worthless fat kid is absolutely retarded. Dude gets 15 TDs in a year and averages around 4ypc and people call him worthless because he has his lone fumble in a Playoff game?

Yeah, I'm miffed at him but that's like saying the Fins should cut Pennington because he threw 4 INTs in a playoff game.

i'm fighting the urge to call for Jake Delhomme's head on a platter. it's a frustrating way to lose. and the guys that caused the TO's are the easiest to blame.

understandable.

Well you wouldn't be the only one. Plenty of people screaming for his head here in at work.

So he has 1 fumble on the year ... albeit in a crucial game against one of the best defenses in the NFL... and fans want him gone?


This is why this forum is awesome.

I'm not the biggest LenDale White fan, but this is rediculous. CJ owes as much of his success to White as White does to CJ.

1 fumble on the year??

Sounds like a lot of people lost big $$. LOL

White is a very good NFL player. He had a bad game against the second best D in the league (STEELERS #1...YEA!)

Give the guy a break. Crumplers fumble lost that game. He tried hard. Crumpler tried hard and had a bad play. It happens. Get over the fact that the "best team does not always win...the team that plays the best ALWAYS wins."

Titan's had a great year. ALL of them..expect VY! they will be just fine next year!

Crumpler wasn't to blame any more than White's fumble or Collins INT or Bironas' missed FG or the missed delay of game. What a dumb argument. They all cost the Titan's points which would have won them the game.

The Crumpler fumble still ended up tying up the game due to a good 3 and out and outstanding field position when they got the ball back.

Lendale's was worse because of the WAY it happened. He was lazily carrying the ball (swinging his arm out - he had done it twice before on that same run) but finally someone laid a pinky on it and it came out like it was greased.

Crumpler just got nailed by two guys and couldn't of prevented that fumble unless he would have gone down on a knee or ran out of bounds - which would have resulted in a 4th down and A FIELD GOAL - which is what we ended up getting anyway. We didn't get points out of the White fumble before the half or the Collins pick or the missed FG.

Crumpler is not to blame.

No, he's not. Decent is a better description. You must not follow the NFL very closely. There isn't a team in the league for which White could be the starting runningback. On many teams, he would have to be a special teams player to even make the roster

WHAT? You don't follow the NFL. I never said he was an All Pro. He is very good, not great. Neither is 95% of the backs in the league. It's not a one back system anymore. he has his place and does a very good job. He is not an everydown back (name more than 4 that are).

He had 1 ...yea 1 fumble this year. That happened to be a HUGE fumble. But he did not lose that game. Crumpler fumble was bigger. He got hit hard on a great play by the Ravens. He is not to blame, but that fumble (caused by the D) was a bigger play in the game.

No it wasn't. The White fumbled resulted in zero points - it MAY have resulted in 3 point - but not 7. The Crumpler fumble still ended up resulted in 3 points due to the Ravens crappy field position. Crumpler did NOT get the first down even if he hadn't fumbled - it would have been 4th and a foot and they would have kicked the field goal. Same result.

Lendale is very mediocre RB and is slow as dirt. Look at last seasons stats when he was the main guy. Heck - even Chris Brown managed to do as well as him when he was the main guy. Lendale wouldn't be a starter on ANY team.

Lendale White is a good nfl player and yes he is a compliment back just like chris johnson they make each other better but he did have a crucial fumble but so did crumpler

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Crumpler's fumble wasn't near as bad. The defense made a great play. White's fumble was just bad ball security swinging his arm out - Lol like Lendale White is actually going to make someone miss - no reason the ball should every be out like that when you're a 265lbs fullback.

It was bad b/c he should have never taken to the air like that. Crumpler wasnt holding the ball well, and then went up in the air not only with the ball poorly held but it facing the inside of the field where the defense was.

Any time you go in the air like that in football, you're asking for and giving the defenses a chance for either a big hit and/or knock the ball loose. It's something defensive coaches teach their players to look for and do from high school on....and it's something offensive players learn in high school that they should never try it and put themselves in that position

He wasn't holding the ball badly. I assume you thought Anderson was holding the ball badly in '05 against Bama too, right? Sometimes you just have to give the defense credit - they hit him really hard and in 2 places.

If he had not tried to go in the air - which is irrelevant to ball security as long as your keep it tucked like normal by the way - he would have been a yard and a half short of the 1st down... and that was a 3rd down play. We still ended up getting a FG out of it since the Ravens had bad field position - so it wasn't that bad overall. The White fumble led to 0 points. We still got what we would have gotten if Crumpler hadn't fumbled - he was short of the 1st.
