Escobar and Beasley

[windjc]

Beasley MUST carry the ball wrapped with both arms. Juke with both arms over ball, wiggle, shimmy, whatever you have to do, but cover it always and forever with two arms.

Beas just doesn't have the size and strength to run with one arm over the ball.

I think that is why he was so pissed at himself. He didn't secure the ball with second arm. And he should have.

All Escobar does is catch TDs.

Now he needs to do more until Dez gets back.

We have to use Escobar more, and the coaching staff has to be more creative in using him. With Dez out, he just has to be in the game more, his talent is becoming rather obvious.

Beasley is what he is, but Escobar has alot of upside that we just aren't using at all. Hate to see Bennett all over again, but the difference is Escobar has alot more upside as a pass catcher than Bennett ever had. We have to get him into the game more, asap.

beasley is a monster, esco is great when he gets opportunities

I wouldn't worry about Beasley over one fumble. I think we under utilized him in the game. Same with Escobar. Now with Dez injured they will both be used more

I thought Dmac did ok. I think Randle is just suited better to be the "follow up" guy. But I thought DMC did good with what he had.

I keep seeing a lot of posts that state DMC did well last night (and when I watched the game I felt that way as well), but when you look at the stat line it tells a different story....6 att 16 yds ( if you take out his long run for 8 yards he is at 5 att for 8 yds (1.6/att), less than 2.7 yards per carry. Those stats are not impressive under any circumstance. I will say, you could see DMC was a much quicker back and given more opportunities may outperform Randall eventually, but Randall at least averaged above 4.1 a carry last night.

Wow, it's the what have you done for me lately on Beasley after one fumble. He did have a nice run before the fumble. Then he juked 3 or 4 guys on his catch down to the 2. But who cares, right? ha

I want to see Escobar out there more. Really think he can "break out" this year if he can prove to the coaches he deserves more snaps.

We worry too much about the wrong side of the ball.
