McCarthy moving away from running back by committee concept

[rambo2]

Would not have mattered if Rico got every carry, run/blocking scheme is not good with the Oline coach and MM doesn’t commit to run game.

I suspect that Rico will have at least 5 yards a carry Monday night.

Better late than never.

I mean this should tell anyone unsure JJ runs the team that Big Mike is a lackey.

Better late than never.

That is funny.

The numbers on Zeke are absolutely dismal. The statistical splits are not NFL worthy

A few "lowlights":

Average yards per carry in the redzone -1

1st Down and 10 -2.6

Trailing -2.8

4th quarter -2.5

I find it difficult to believe that there isn't at least a half dozen RB's on practice squads around the league that can't do better.

Welcome to last January. He has had one foot on a banana peel since the GB debacle.

Should have been fired then.

Win, lose or draw, Dowdle should get 20 carries a game. It's actually a good idea. Just feed the guy for 3-4 weeks in a row. He's the best RB on the team. I'm positive he won't drop dead from the workload. I think production will start improving just by doing that.

Dowdle has been the lead back all season. In 4 of the last 5 games he’s had double digit carries.

He could have done a lot more against the Eagles.

They didn't think they would be good enough to start with new coach this year.

 

[rambo2]

wow is he just now figuring this out lol.

He knew before. You can thank Jerry.

 

[StarLord]

If they would commit to give Zeke more carries. He would average 6.0
Every RB needs to establish a rhythm.

How much is RonnieT paying you?!

 

[atlantacowboy]

Rico needs to touch the ball , Mike? Whose been stopping him?

 

[KJJ]

He could have done a lot more against the Eagles.

He could have but we fell way behind and needed points. Dowdle hasn’t provided any big plays.

 

[Praxit]

..sheesh, poor guy, he's aged quite a bit in last couple of months..

They would have points if Zeke didn't fumble. Take Zeke out and leave Rico in and you have points.

Wait, I thought it was supposed to be a great idea?

That definitely cost us some points but it was going to take a lot more than that to win.

The only bad thing is they might win a game and take them out of the top 5 in the draft.

I was talking about people saying a RBBC was a great idea before the season
