Let's Give Some Big Credit to Mr. RICO DOWDLE

[Hoenheim]

Dude was our leading rusher and receiver this game

183 rushing yards,  56 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD

Dude has been a monster being the lead back. 2nd game in a row with 200+ yards from scrimmage. 

My man is out here looking like a prime Ladanian Tomlinson.

Going to be a tough decision when Chuba comes back. Having two good ones in the backfield hasn’t been a problem we’ve had In awhile 

[toldozer]

I thought he was going to have a dud of a game trying to do too much. He and the oline balled the fug out

[The Lobo]

Don’t know how his back doesn’t hurt from carrying the team for two weeks. The guy is awesome 

[carpanfan96]

First panther with back to back 200 scrimmage yard games as well. 

[Cam2Ligit2Quit]

30 rushes for 183 yards. What’s more impressive is that he did all that with 15 yards being the longest run 

[CPF4LIFE]

Some credit? He deserves most of it on offense. 

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

get that man some bananas, pickle juice, and IV's

Dude is a beast...we better not let him walk. We have a double trouble backfield once again. If you can't dictate to the defense with what we have on O we missed the boat. Its were we should be.

You have to let Rico start. You can not disrupt his rhythm and if Chubba was a true team player, he would understand. If I was Chubba, I wouldnt even let the staff make a decision. I would make it for them

Chubba will still get touches, split would be like 20/10

[carpanfan96]

Most scrimmage yards in a game by a Panther ever....

I’d play Rico over Hubbard.  And I wouldn’t split series.   Hubbard would have to earn it back when ever the opportunity presented itself 

but I expect Dave will give Hubbard the job back and do a painfully 50/50 ish split.  Which I hate because some runners need volume and we employ 2 of such.  So rep splitting stink for them

Just now, CRA said:

I think you have to do that. I mean Rico is going to be top ten in rushing yards through 6 weeks from basically two games. He also has really good hands and can be a receiving threat.
