Kultarr Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Willis was a mistake. If you think about it who in there right mind would use a first round pick to draft severely damaged goods? I mean there had to be better options at the time. How about a big time Dline or Oline guy? I dont know. I know hind sight is 20/20 but even then it didnt make any sense to me. 54139[/snapback] The answer is simple. It made headlines. Headlines like "Tom Donahoe makes stone cajones selection."
Corp000085 Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 6.5 ypc doesn't mean a lick of difference if the last play gets you -1ypc.
Rico Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 .........while Travis fails in short yardage. I'm sorry but I'm tired of watching TRAVIS fail. Forget all the talk about Drew.......I'm tired of watching TRAVIS. 53983[/snapback] I've been tired of watching Drew for some time now, and I'm starting to get tired of watching TH. It's Willis time.
ajzepp Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Gee, that sounds alot like being taller makes your a better quarterback. Another truth that did not bare fruit. 54117[/snapback] I'm not speculating that Willis is a better back than Travis....I'm talking specifically about short yardage. In three games, Travis has fallen in a crucial short yardage situation w/out a defender touching him in TWO of the three. Having a different back in short yardage is not a new concept, and it can be effective. Ask Joe Gibbs.
Kultarr Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Look, I know a loss hurts but wanting a change for changes sake is not the answer. Henry is a great back, GREAT. Top 10 in the league, maybe top 5. You wanna bench him because of one or two falls? For an unproven back with a gimp leg? Are you people crazy??? 54126[/snapback] FWIW, I don't think Henry should be benched nor even that Willis should start. But I think that if you have a guy that you claim is "100%" and "was a #1 overall sort of talent", well, you owe it to your franchise to figure out how to get him the ball. With his homerun threat speed and supposedly good hands, why not give him some of Jake Reed's playing time or one of the lousy, useless TEs?
BF_in_Indiana Posted October 3, 2004 Author Posted October 3, 2004 That's the biggest point I HAVE. We aren't even using him at ALL!!!! Did I mention we are now 0-3????
