Jacobs: "I'm Playing"

[Darth Biscuit]

Sweet, no excuses.

That's what I was thinking... but he obviously is unaware of our history of breaking body parts of opposing players. You know... knees, spleens, etc.

I'm not advocating or hoping for it, just stating a fact.

[Kyle82]

Bring it

[catz]

He can say he is playing but . . . wonder *if* the Dr has cleared him yet??? Either way, I stand wih our run defense which has been pretty stout lateky(xcept for the atl game).

[Jangler]

Eli's confidence is at home nursing a a leg wound.

[Davidson Deac II]

So what we have shut down the best backs in the leauge he is no diffrent and prob want be 100%

We really haven't shut down to many good running backs this year. Peterson is the only one I can think of.

[Davidson Deac II]

He's not even a top tier back. I don't get it. He's just big and can mow over people. That doesn't make you good. That just makes you big. .

You just described John Riggins and he was pretty good.

[BHiott]

Can't wait to see Beason bust his knee caps!!

The enemy deserves no mercy. Sweep the leg, Johnny Beason.

We had 2 backs who got over 100 yards against us and that was Dunn and Turner on the road. We stopped Turner the first time, Dunn the second time and also contained Petersen, LT, Forte, Johnson and Bush. What team have you been following??

[Brooklyn Bully]

Jon Beason will be glad to meet Jacobs.

If it's anything like when he met Cadillac, I hope he has help.

[hdevonxz]

You are looking to much at total yards and not enough at YPC. Look at the Atlanta game for example. We didn't so much stop them as we forced them to throw the ball a lot. 41 passes in the first game. Dunn had 50 yards in 10 carries in the second game. Tomlinson had 97 yards in 21 carries. Forte had 97 yards in 23 carries. Thats not stopping the other teams running back. I will grant that it seems that our run defense has performed better in the redzone.

But overall, our run defense has been average or slightly below average this year. We are in the bottom half of the league in Yards per carry allowed.

Even yards per carry in a particular game doesn't tell you alot. For example if a back get 50 yards on one run and gains 50 on the next 15 it looks pretty good but really with the exception of one run the rest were mediocre. For example Williams had a big run against Denver but otherwise was not that great. Still was was important was that he got a big touchdown and changed the game. We bottled up Peterson, Forte, Tomlinson and Dunn the second time given that we gave up 0 TDS to them. They had a few runs but nothing really meaningful. That is bottling them up. And making their runs relative meaningless.
