Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 2287932, member: 837"] Yeah, I'm not flipping out about the performance b/c good or bad it's hard to feel like it's much a barometer for the season. But if you take all the times we've seen strickland run the ball, I think it's fair to be concerned about his ability to be the main RB in this offense. I actually thought Neal did a nice job between the tackles -- not when the box is stacked, but thought he moved the pile a couple times to pick up a few yards, and squirted through a small opening to fall forward for a couple yards a few times. More than we were getting out of strickland, IMO. But ultimately it may be a matter of working Pierre in as the season goes along and utilizing a bit more of Philips in that role as you suggest. Will unquestionably be something to watch b/c I wasn't counting 8 guys very often either. [/QUOTE]
