Missing Julius - 32 points last 10 quarters

[Eskimo]

I hope Julius comes back soon because the offense has been pretty atrocious since he left the Eagles game.

Sure we've picked up some first downs and moved the ball occasionally but Bledsoe has been under extreme duress and we have been unable to score points.

I really think he was disguising a lot of weaknesses on the offense - both the protection for Bledsoe and the WRs. Bledsoe got better protection because the DL always had to worry if Julius was coming on a draw. The WRs had more room to operate because the safeties cheated up and the LBs probably were slightly delaying their drops.

Barber and TT have done okay in his absence but neither represent the threat that JJ does. Hopefully he will be back soon and the offense will be more productive.

Tucker and Pettiti need all the help they can get.

I think MB did an admirable job of filling in for JJ. Not sure how much more JJ could have done. MB had quite a few good runs. Problem again lies in the OL. They get no push or holes on quite a few 2nd and short, 3rd and short. JJ can't run through walls...we've seen that in the first few games that he played in.

MB was great in the screen play.....a play we should run more often.

im pretty sure JJ will play next week, he has shown improvement parcells said and it will be 17+ days and curtis martin only took 17 days to recover so i can assume he will be back on the field next sunday...

I couldnt agree more... it "seems" that Jones hasnt had a great year, but he has been consistant, and teams respect the hell out of him...

He opens up the pass game. He has had some very good rushing performances, not any over 100 yards, but penalties have called back a LOT of his yards.

Plus, I feel a lot better in the red zone when he is in cause he CAN score for you
