I don't think it takes a football expert to see that Ware is an ineffective runner lately and Hill runs well...


Right

But Ware is in the game because he is probably a better blocker and receiver in the passing game

Hill is the better runner but that doesn't mean that he can be on the field for every offensive down

Ware picked up 3 crucial first downs via reception yesterday. It's not like he has no value on the field.

Of course, you'll have a tough time selling that to some Central Lafourche scholar like Maximus or whatever dumb arse place he comes from.

Guess we're confused why he had the second most carries when he's probably the worst runner on the team.

I agree ware does have a place on the field because he can block and catch. the problem is hill spending way too much time on the bench yesterday. I like rotating backs but les does it too much and clearly the best back is hill and he should be on the field at least once in every drive not missing from 2 to 3 drives unless we are in a all pass mode because we down.

do you think opposing DCs are too stupid to understand that Ware comes in when we will pass? or that Ford only runs sweeps?

We're not talking about 3rd down passing situations but completely abandoning Hill for entire drives when he is having success because Ware is the designated pass blocker/receiver out of the backfield. Mett can't throw deep and Ware can't run the ball so we end up having to punt. extending the drive every now and then with an 8 yard pass to Ware doesn't cancel everything else out. But, we'll have a tough time selling that to somebody who has his head in the fridge the whole game like you.
