[MyFairLady]

I don't know about you guys but that play was just awesome and something that I will remember for a while. Dude looked amazing. Fast and strong.

What about the one in OT

What about it? Perhaps it was time for someone else on offense to step up and make a play.

He kept great field premier the whole time and showed he has some very good top end speed to outrun the DB who was closing on him.

get him more involved in some quick slants

Pollard is an animal. I’ve always been impressed with his running ability and would love to see him get the ball more.

Highest paid QB and highest paid RB in the league go pass to fatty for 2 yards, pass to fatty for 4 yards, incomplete pass, punt. StuckMojo blames kick returner for not taking a second one to the house.

I didn’t say anything about him not taking the OT one to the house. He basically run straight to the defender. I am all for getting him more touches in space but I’m gonna praise or critique every player. Not just certain ones and I’m not going to call our players insulting names.

The brilliant coaching staff was content to sit Pollard in overtime in favor of a RB who is struggling to simply run.

To their detriment.

I was wondering why Pollard wasn't in the mix their

We're going to miss him.

And who's "fatty" again?

Not really. Not like we are winning anything with him right now lol. He was here last year when they won 6 games.

Rare to see running backs returning kickoffs.

Hmmmm?

Gale Sayers
Ollie Matson
Bobby Mitchell

That gang scored around 20 times on KO/Punt returns, Hall of Famers

Deserve mention

Terry Metcalf
Eric Metcalf
Travis Williams
Herschel Walker

While in high school Marcus Dupree was running so many KO's back to score, the offense complained to the HC, they wanted the ball so get Dupree out of there, ha!!!!

Man, I use to enjoy watching Swinton return those punts back.

He's a beast and the rest of the team totally wasted the momentum. Not sure how I feel about this team. I know we are riddled by injuries but there seems to be some real gutless dopes and dolts on the squad.

A RB with speed. Imagine that?
