Thanks Utah...

It looks as though their back is tough - seems to be putting up some nice numbers.

Their All-American WR doesn't have very impressive numbers really. I know he was hurt but he's been back for a few weeks now & has been average.

no I'm not following people around, and if you notice it's only him who I'm mean too, evrybody who makes sane comments I respect.  Which is why I have no problem with IC who happens to be a huge rival

superman57, your antics have gone a little too far. are you the class bully following people around?  go ahead, zap my karma.

tags, whats to say about the sharpe/robbie comment?  i feel like some debating before i sleep. i want some quality football talk.

Are you asking why I didn't like the comment?

Speaking of breakaway speed I know it's not what Robinson is really known for since he frequently slows down to almost a stop when he is weaving through defenses and tends not to go outside much.  But there was one play against Alfred, it was about a 40 yard run or so because he went to the outside and hit a gear I haven't seen from him before, it was fast!  Sure he was tackled at about the 10 or so but it was the safety who had about a 10 yard start that had to book it over to try and stop him.  I would love to see more of that on Saturday

Robinson is plenty fast. His field vision & decision making makes him who he is, but you give him a hole & he's gone.

I still think this long name thing is becoming a little too much....

yea its pretty stupid

And while were on that - the play you spoke about was inside the left tackle & he bounced it out.

They're success was coming from running him inbetween the tackles & letting him have the option of bouncing it outside yet they insisted on running him up the middle & letting him get pounded in there.

Yet another questionable day for the coaching staff. This happens over, and over, and over.

eh, i don't know. they are 2 different players, both from different schemes. i like robinson as a player a lot...he just doesn't get the ball enough because of the rotation with windbag's son. not to take anything away from reile but he's not on the same level. i'd love to see a rematch in springfield second round.

[pg04]

Haha...the names were taking up like half the screen!  Although I did like your name the best.

Who hit my karma... holy sensitive. I've been pretty mellow this evening.

[The Truth 00]

and seriously, i hope fisher's coaching decisions don't play a role in the game this saturday. i've seen some questionable ones before...but i guess you could say that with any team.

Exactly - that's why you can't say things like Sharpe would run circles around Robinson. I think that may have been said in the heat of the moment.

They're use of Reile is way over the top. He should be in the slot & spelling Mark as necessary... not splitting time. That's just pure stupidity. If they use that in the post season they'll pay for it - You give the ball to your best player in games like this, period.

Truth,

Who exactly is the team you route for the most, I get mixed messages from you.  I don't like when people make booby think so stop it already!

Guys worry not about superman, he is harmless.  I am pretty sure he was that creepy sports studies kid i saw around for a few years and if that is the case fret not because he wouldn't be confrontational in real life.
