re: What was everyone saying about Miles during/after the 2008 season

I LOVE this shite. Yeah, he gets 15 touches instead of 10, and all of a sudden he's getting 400 yards rushing and we're winning games by 30 points?

He got 10 carries, sporadically throughout the game.

He finally came in during the fourth drive, down 17-0 gained 22 yards on 3 straight carries, allowing Harris to throw the big play of the night, only for Miles to gift Hilliard with another TD. They then skip a drive, and give him the ball again the next drive twice for 8 yards. What do we do then, take him out and put in Williams who gets no gain and we have to punt down 24-7.

We don't see Fournette again, for literally a whole quarter (nearly midway through the third). By this time, they know Harris can't throw for shite because he's scared shitless, and we are down 31-7. They sell their soul to stop the run and now the only effective RB, has been pretty much neutralized.

But he has hands doesn't he? Why don't they at least try to send him out to catch a pass? Well gee, I don't fricking know.

Right now Fournette is averaging 17.20 yards per reception, and there has been literally one catch that he didn't gain at least 15 yards on.

So at 5.5 ypc on 18 carries (let's say 13-15 should come in the first half) That's 99 yards. How about 5 targets with an average of 3 catches? about another 45 yards. That's chain moving. That's keeping offensive drives alive. That's feeding your best player.

The fact that people can't see this shite is hysterical.
