Exactly, Carl. I mean, I didn't realize a running back that wore a Titans uniform was allow to run full speed through holes, break tackles and actually score long touchdowns. I thought it was some rule that Fisher made up or something that this sort of thing couldn't happen. Nice to see the old style of running, constantly run into the backs of his lineman and tripping and falling, has found itself (albeit with less and less carries) a home in Dallas now.
Look, I appreciate C. Brown. He's obviously alot quicker than Eddie - my little sister who doesn't know the first thing about football immediately noticed that.
And yes, it was a bad play call on the 4th & Inches. But you cannot deny that in that game, when it was 3rd or 4th & <1, Brown was worthless. He could not gain one yard. He was literally 0-for-3. And that's a problem. And don't tell me that the line was stacked or they had 8 guys in the box or whatever. On 3rd & 1, the line will always be stacked, and you HAVE to be able to hand the ball off and gain a yard. To win in the NFL, you HAVE to have a guy who can do that. Now maybe Brown will be that guy, or maybe it'll be Smith, or maybe it'll be nobody.
Again, say what you want about Eddie and how slow he was, but I wasn't nervous when they handed it to him on 3rd & 1.
