Dsausage 36 Posted October 10, 2016 Whats the thoughts on this guy overall? Does he remain the bell cow here? Who is better? He averaged 8.6 yards a carry on 11 today and over 5.5 ypc last week w over 20 carries. He is averaging almost 7 yards a carry on last 30 plus carries. He might be this years Justin Forsett, for reAlz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiramie 50 Posted October 10, 2016 He looked good. Gotta take it with a grain of salt cause Wash run D is bad though. Dixon looked pretty sluggish. I just don't understand how you only give West 11 carries in that game? Are coaches that stupid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 478 Posted October 10, 2016 I just wish he would have gotten those extra 5 yards on the ground. I really needed those 7 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dsausage 36 Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah- agreed. Not sure what they were thinking. They should have pounded it 25 times to him. He would have broke one at best, at worst kept them honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trestman fired lol. "We're averaging almost a first down per run, but let's keep chucking it in 30 mph winds against one of the best CBs in the league with our best WR out in a single possession game". I will continue to preach that most NFL coaches are special needs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will continue to preach that most NFL coaches are special needs... What the hell was that fake FG all about? A bootleg option with the Kicker? Horrible call. If you don't want to kick because of the winds why not just go for it outright? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 753 Posted October 10, 2016 well, for the record, the OC just lost his job. link below: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000718709/article/ravens-fire-offensive-coordinator-marc-trestman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
werethemillers 3 Posted October 10, 2016 What do we think this does to West's outlook going forward? The QB coach is the play caller now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 753 Posted October 10, 2016 What do we think this does to West's outlook going forward? The QB coach is the play caller now.... That's the million dollar question. there is no guarantee that the current starter remains the starter. I'd suggest the status quo will remain for the first week (maybe two) then he will start to make changes he wants to the offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted October 10, 2016 The Redskins have the worst run defense I've seen in 40 years. Yes, I'm old. The Browns fumbled away a loss to us and the Ravens coached away a loss to us. I'm grateful but it's going to go south here soon. Just run it every down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Football Guru 222 Posted October 10, 2016 The new OC is as pass-heavy as Trestman, but I suppose we can hope he's getting the message from Harbs that a pass-heavy game plan isn't what he wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Football Guru 222 Posted October 10, 2016 Don't think the Ravens have the talent in the passing game to be a pass happy offence C'mon dude ... Ozzie is still trying to defend dropping $20+ M for the Super Bowl that Joe Flacco delivered Seriously though, I agree. They need to be a balanced offense - one that takes the occasional shot to Wallace/Perriman and uses Smith/Pitta underneath. Their defense is good enough to grind a lot of games out.

Dsausage 36 Posted October 17, 2016 Still deserved. 29 points in my league this week. Hes a RB 1/2 at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dsausage 36 Posted October 17, 2016 I dont see how or why they would take the ball out of his hands at this point. This years Forsett. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 133 Posted October 17, 2016 Started him once Fuller showed up as possibly out. Nice surprise this season, I didn't think this guy would still even be in the league and picked him up out of RB desperation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallo 136 Posted October 17, 2016 I'm looking to sell high based on his schedule ROS, maybe a bad move but I'm looking to cash in on some depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry David 20 Posted October 18, 2016 I'm looking to sell high based on his schedule ROS, maybe a bad move but I'm looking to cash in on some depth. I don't think his schedule ROS is too tough. He has as many games against teams that have been mediocre to bad against the run (Pitt, Cleveland, Cincy, NYJ) as he does against teams that have been strong against the run (Dallas, Miami, Pats, Eagles).
