Darrin Reaves

[t96]

He ran very very well today, breaking through contact and always running forward and not sideways. I think if Stew and DeAngelo both miss extended time then Reaves is good enough to step in and help out our run game. The interior of the line played very well today too which helped him but Reaves was great. Curious as to why Fozzy didn't get a carry. Thoughts on whether Fozzy or Reaves should be our guy next week if Stew can't go?

Fozzy is hurt like the rest of our RBs.  Reeves did look good today.  If the OL could open more lanes, we could have a decent run game with him.

I thought Foz was active?

that new RB we signed this week ran well also. congrats to both of them.

My biggest question is why Reaves, a nobody, can run behind this line, but the dynamic duo can't seem to stop breakdancing in the backfield long enough to gain positive yardage?

They have oldness

Fozzy was active but I think it was an emergency type of deal and they never intended to use him. Reaves started playing well and was replaced by obi for some reason. I think our RBs are good enough to win with if the oline can get it's poo together

Worst run defense we've faced.

he had 11 carries for 35 yards. stewart and williams have both performed better this year (against better defenses and in gloomier situations). they're just injured.

He had that big screen pass also. Which if I'm not mistaken was the only screen called all day(Shula)

[igor]

Ehh he did ok, obi was much better imo

One group is working week to week & literally playing for their career & livelihood, the other group is raking in 10s of millions.

I really like Reaves.  Not the most gifted athlete but decisive and gives it all he's got.

SCP made a thread on our organization's obsession with "Rudi" type players.  Some of them make for great situational back-ups.

Combo of Stewart , Reaves, and Obi will help control the Bengals game.
