Dawgg Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thank goodness we have Willis and his blocking to go with it! Thanks, but no thanks. Ask Vince Young how he likes get whacked like he has because Travis doesn't block, at all. 809768[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thank goodness we have Willis and his blocking to go with it! 810301[/snapback] Yeah actually Willis is 1000 times better at blocking. Considering that Travis pretty much refused, it's not hard to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two of the worst blocking RBs I've ever seeen. Both of them pick up the blitz at about a 50% rate, which just doesn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I didn't watch the game. I never had a problem with his "running". It was his lack of blocking, catching, and his fumbling, in additon to his general off field stupidity. Last I checked he'd been suspended this year already for 4 games. To his credit he only has one fumble in three starts, and he still doesn't catch. So pretty much same old Travis. Thanks, but no thanks. Ask Vince Young how he likes get whacked like he has because Travis doesn't block, at all. 809768[/snapback] Well considering he's been sacked 3 times in 2 starts, I'm sure Young is quite fine with having a rb who gains 300 yards in 2 games in there. And not to start this whole Willis/ Henry thing again (Willis is our guy and I'm fine with that), but look at some career games for Henry: 178, 167, 149, 169, 151, 159, 132, 149, 144. But then again everyone knows Henry isn't an explosive back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgg Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 And these are all behind suspect offensive lines in both Buffalo and Tennessee. The sheer number of excuses people on this board make for Willis is rather comical. The bottom line was when the team needed a yard, Travis got it. For Willis, it depends on (a) how hard he decides to run and (b) all blocks being executed to perfection. And not to start this whole Willis/ Henry thing again (Willis is our guy and I'm fine with that), but look at some career games for Henry: 178, 167, 149, 169, 151, 159, 132, 149, 144.
