Message: [QUOTE="Archbold44, post: 5538848, member: 10528"] Is his better weapon his arm or his legs? You tell me. Rickie's per game rating on ESPN: 179 (Colgate), 114.5 (Clemson), 111.4 (Duke), 95 (SMU), and 84.5 (Pitt). I am no statistician, but it sure looks like he is getting worse each game... which makes sense as there is more and more tape on him. Rickie has 99 yards rushing the past two games (19 carries). Willis has 57 (28 carries). Nixon has 19 (12 carries). I get that some of this is taking advantage of the prevent. But at the same time we need to move the chains and he is an interception machine. We have less than 5 WR runs this season that I can count. It might be 3 or 4. If we cannot pass them the ball... maybe we need to let them run it 2-3 times a game (not each... total). Is that any less effective than handing it to Willis to run into someone for a -2 to 3 yard gain? Why has this disappeared from our offense completely? [/QUOTE]
