One glaring thing needs to be fixed ASAP or no playoffs!

im sure you will all agree with me that the defense needs to wipe the grease off their hands. i lost track of how many tackles just slipped out of their hands yesterday, and its not like its the first time this has happened a few times this year. i feel that if this doesnt get addressed then we are going to be in major trouble.

Channing Crowder will help this defense greatly.

I think you should email this to Sporano immeadiatly. I would hate to miss the playoffs because you didnt get a chance to tell them what they are doing wrong.

Crowder has been guilty of it too. The Rams and the 49ers both moterboated us up and down the field, as did the Seahawks and to some degree the Raiders. Crowder was in all those games.

More importantly we need ronnie involved, this is just ridiculous i dont think he had more then 8 or 9 carries. Putting the ball in ricky's hands at the end of the game yesterday was just idiotic. I Love ricky, but he cant hang on to the ball.
Ronnie should have at least 17 or 18 carries a game.

I don't really get people with this logic.

Funny how some will say this about having Ricky run the ball, yet SO MANY of you bashed WV yesterday when he wrote the post about Ronnie costing us a 1st down that lead to a bonheaded 4th and 1 call.

Up till that point Ricky was the more reliable back and had the better overall game to that point.

The problem wasn't Ricky it was the play calling. If it's late in the game and you wanna eat the clock as well as just run the Ball UP THE GUT, Ricky is the better back then Ronnie. Ricky will just hit the hole whether it's there or not where Ronnie will try to make something happen. Sometimes it works out greatly, other times it works out horrible.

The only time Ricky really gets negative yards is whe we try to bounce it outside. Same with Ronnie.

The problem wasn't running with Ricky. Just like it wouldn't hav ebeen an issue if they used Ronnie.

The problem was simple, the Play call. Should have never been to the outside. Should have been right up the middle

the pt. was that ricky is much much more prone to fumbling not that he wasnt running better, but yes the play calling was terrible as well

No I get that. That is a very valid point.

But you can't really play scared, I mean if that's the case Ricky should never get an important carry.

I would say Ronnie has forgotten the call as many times as Ricky has fumbled this year. So it is really pick your poison. Tap Dancer who may forget the play call or the guy who might fumble.

LOL, I know it's a little exaggeration, but it only becomes an issue if Ricky fumbles. Just like the Anti Ronnie people will use the whole not getting a 1st down to their advantage.

I guess, that for whatever reason, they trusted Ricky in that situation more then Ronnie. I think it is simply they trust whoever has had the more effective game that day. Most of the games it was Ronnie in that situation. A few times this year it was Ricky. It was just Ricky's turn yesterday
