I watched Jacobs and Bradshaw last night and

thought someone had brought these two back in a time machine from two years ago

 

its been 2 years since either of these guys played like that

Other than the 79 run Jacobs still only averaged about 3 yards per carry.

that was a pass.

which was a pass. Jacobs is STILL tip-toeing to the line. Bradshaw was a beast.

[Treehugger]

Bradshaw had one nice run (29 yards on the sweet cutback) but only averaged 3 ypc on the other attempts.

Power backs need carries.

 

Show me an effective power back that only touches the ball 13 times a game.

He showed a little more ass this time. A true warrior.

[NightFire]

that was a pass.

 

Sorry that's what I meant. Basically I was trying to say that his one big run wasn't a run and he only averaged 3 yards a carry when actually getting the ball for a running play. The pitch and run was a great run by Jacobs though and I will agree that he should be getting more running plays. If he is supposed to be the RB that softens up the D, while Bradshaw blows past them when they are tired, then 13 carries isn't going to do it.

I thought Jacobs was a mixed bag in this game. I saw some runs where I thought the old Jacobs was back, and others where I thought he was still dancing too much. One thing that has not received a lot of attention is that to me, Jacobs appeared to be pretty effective on sweeps, pitches, counters, and other runs to the outside the last couple of years, but not this year. It seems that Jacobs almost has to go inside to be effective this year. I could be wrong.

 

Bradshaw's play was inspiring. I hope those ankles get plenty of rest/ice before this week's game.

did you know jacobs could run that fast?

I hope everyone noticed the change in play calls, finally, too....

 

They were sending Jacobs up the gut or off tackle (where he would promptly cut upfield when he saw a hole, like old Brandon Jacobs) and then giving the sweeps and misdirections to Ahmad. Good decision.
