Kayoh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Completely disregarding # of carries, Warrick Dunn had the lowest amount of rushing yards on our team last night. That's pretty ##### poor, considering the fact that he's starting, all in itself.Now consider the fact that Dunn had more carries than anybody(same # as Norwood), and we're getting into the range of "pathetic".Finally, consider the fact that he averaged .5 yards per carry. And no, the decimal point is not a mistake. 6 carries, 3 yards. Chris Redman had 1 carry for 4 yards, putting him ahead of our starting RB. Jason Snelling had 3 for 9. Jerious Norwood had(the same amount as Dunn) 6 carries, but he turned the 6 carries into 21 yards.Team Average with Dunn: 2.3125 YPC.Team Average without Dunn: 3.4 YPC.This is ridiculous. I don't think he deserves to touch the ball any more than 5 or so times each game for the last 3 games. Not only is he way too old to give us any promise for next year, but even if he was younger, he's just plain pathetic. And you can't blame this on the line, because they blocked the same all night; they didn't just not run block for Dunn, they didn't run block well for ANYBODY. Honestly, give Jason Snelling 30 carries in one of these 3 games. I'd love to see what he can do with the ball in his hands more often. When we need a first down, he gets it for us on his own. Even if the line doesn't block well for him, he is exactly what Petrino wants, a pile-moving RB that blocks better than Warrick Dunn. Helloooo, full back in college means LOTS of pass blocking. He's got an edge on Dunn and Norwood both when it comes to blocking.Honestly, give Snelling a chance. I was so pissed off last night when he converted on 3rd(or 4th) and 1 and then he came out of the game just so Dunn could come in. SO pissed.

atlndvd Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Watch the game ******. Everytime Warrick Dunn got a carry there were 3 Saints in his face. Our offensive line is ******** pathetic. Quit playing it off as if Norwood rushed for 130, aside from his longest run, which was a mind-blowing highlight of the week 6 or 7 yards, he had like 13 yards on 6 carries, so shut your ******** mouth. Warrick Dunn isn't the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLDenaliReturns Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 there must be some conspiracy against Dunn. apparently he's a great running back and it's just the o-line can't block.which explains why norwood consistently gets about 6 freaking yards per carry.

Julian St.Clor Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Dunn is a good guy...he deserves to carry us into the perfect draft selection spot:hehe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Right, so, because of course Warrick Dunn is the only person that runs behind this terrible O-Line, it's safe to assume that it's not his fault.The numbers don't lie. The rest of our freaking team has 1 more YPC Average without Dunn than with him. That is significant, and it was all behind the exact same offensive line. And by the way, if you take away Jerious's longest run of the night, it's only fair to do the same with Dunn.So, if we play your little game and take away each player's longest run, the stats look like this:Norwood: 5 Rushes 14 YardsSnelling: 2 Rushes 5 YardDunn: 5 Rushes -1 YardsSo, new YPCs.Team With Dunn: 12 Rushes for 18 yards, or 1.5 YPCWithout Dunn: 7 Rushes for 19 Yards, or 2.6 YPCI like this game.

dirtybirdsdance Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 were you not the same guy who kept telling us Duckett was the answer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Duckett sucked. If there is a definition of the opposite of a downhill runner, he's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybirdsdance Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 ok i must have had you confused with someone else, i believe.I do wonder why Norwood is not getting more touches, i dont think it has anything to do with Dunn as our staff has had no problem going young. I would like to see norwood get to play a whole game before he is handed the tourch, it seems they want him on the field but as anything but a RB, why?

dirtybirdsdance Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Dr John Zoidberg (12/11/2007)If you don't like it then talk to the Head Coach because he's calling the plays.I dont have a problem with it, i just wonder what it is about Norwood that makes coaches keep him off the field...

Norwood32 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm so tired of Dunn and his -2 yard runs. Seriously i don't care what he does off the field if he can't do sh*t on the field. I am liking that were seeing more of Snelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
