EDge was one of the best pass catching RB's in history before Whiz took over- then NADA - He was onthe EDGE of top 10 all time in carries, rush yards, yards from scrimmage also- WHEN HE WAS BENCHED FOR STUPID THT!
The worst starting RB in the NFL then and for next couple years. The I'm not an offensive lineman comment- was leadership that got him ripped from the line up.
Beanie has dropped like one catchable ball since he's been here? And has lined out at WR and made great catches also- It is all part of the crap written that aint the truth - Like he is a fumbler- it is not true He has lost like 4 in his career yet - He is pulled from the game and the next and destroyed in the AZ press - the last straw-
Did you see the follow up story on his auditioning for 31 other teams beating? He was repeating what the coaches told the team to motivate them to play the final games.
He is a case study on how not to develop a young NFL Player- WE DON"T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT - YOU NEED TO BLOCK- blocking for the pass game is your primary focus. Look at the 5th round pick THT - crappy featured RB- but one hell of a pass blocker- AHHGGG
Sorry but if you look in the play by play you'll see streaks of passing that really skew the running numbers - on the 320 runs a year they were not balanced - they would not patient or balanced anytime except the playoff wins. they show a short burst of running and then empty backfields abandoned to the passing game- and runs at he end of the game- Bunches of 3 and outs and one 3 play 8 second drive? lots under 1 minute and more under 2 minutes.
Beanie asked for 7 carries early to get established -wHEn Healthy- He got 7 carries a game- and ridiculed. The SB and playoff loss we had 10 carries total- and their gripeing about the Raiders gameplan in the 06 SB right now? We had a 3 score lead in GB from running the ball prior to the pass festival between Warner iand Rodgers in 09- look at the play by play cause you won't see it reported!
As much as some fans like to bag on Beanie, at 6'2" and 230 he seems to be more of the Arians type RB than Powell. Yeah I know about Mendenhall but I just have a feeling that our new HC likes big RBs and Beanie fits the bill. Arians doesn't seem to throw to the RBs so that eliminates one of Wells biggest drawbacks, can't catch a cold.
Oh wait. I already jinxed this guy once. Forget I ever wrote any of this.
