  1. He was killer last year, but they apparently forgot how to use him and our two tight ends who collectively averaged a TD per game. Have they scored this year? I think Fleener once. They just need to throw the ball in check downs to him for 5-10 yards or more a pop. They threw it to Gore multiple times and he dropped it. We need check downs to both backs and TE crossing routes.

    Agreed, check downs, screens, TE usage have all been missing since week one. To me another continually yearly mistake that Chuck makes is he's to loyal towards his vets. I feel Robinson is a very capable first team back if given the opportunities, similar to Dorsett not seeing the field enough (although hurt now). Bradshaw is OK but nothing extra to what we already have in a much younger backup that now will not get snaps show his skills. This mentality creates false needs at RB in next years draft therefore wasting picks.
  2. Bray probably has a better chance of going unclaimed and returning to the practice squad when Dorsett is healthy. I have to imagine if Carter gets called up it'll be for the long haul, although he did go unclaimed prior to Week 1. But yeah, mainly because Bray can allegedly catch and hold onto punt and kick returns.

    Hopefully we are making personnel decisions to win games now, not by who's less likely to be lost from ps.

  3. And Reggie would have given us LEADERSHIP and MORE production than the useless Johnson and a load of positive emotional boost to a team that needs it. We signed Johnson for what? 3 years? How much dead money will we have when he isn't on our roster next year? That was another terrible signing. Reggie is out there, work him out. We need guys who can catch and who can get open on the short routes. He doesn't need speed, he just needs to be a possession receiver. I called for Bradshaw all season, perhaps we should start calling for Reggie. Now I know he isn't a special teamer, and I agree we need one, so nuke Whalen, bring in Reggie.

    Bradshaw has done nothing except continue Chucks normal theory of sticking with old guys while not allowing young/rookies to develope.

  4. Bradshaw's decent (as he said himself no one else called him), however I feel it's the same old Colts keeping older guys and not allowing the younger players to get reps. This will hurt what I felt could have been a strong young tandum in Robinson and Varga.

  5. Hope this is all just media pipe smoke. I unfortunately suffer this in HS but no big deal just a bruise (35 yrs ago); however it happened again 9 months later in college. Game over for me at that point. Was told it will continue to happen with more regularity so surgery is best. The range of motion loss is very noticeable and still to this day gets inflammed.

    Maybe next years draft QB, OL - let's pray not!!!

  6. I understand why the Niners would always put Hyde in the Red Zone area. They NEED to sign Donald Brown as 2nd string and move Robinson to 3rd. I do not trust Robinson enough either to carry balls in the red zone...

    Robinson was hit 2 yds behind the line, turned and got whacked on hit ball hand. Great defensive hit, props to the defender. Robinson will be fine.
