This AP shit has gone way overboard. I don't agree with making a HOF player a healthy scratch, Jay and whoever else had input on the decision should have seen the bigger picture. BUT, I don't think Jay was doing it to intentionally spite AP, or there's some sort of conspiracy at work. Guice was drafted to be the stud RB, he was cleared and healthy. He looked great in that 3rd preseason game against ATL. All this revisionist history now that he got hurt again is ridiculous.
This.
Also, I liked what Cooley said about some players being upset about the AP benching: it is none of their business, all they need to focus on is getting ready to play on Sundays.

100% agree.

It didn't look like the line was doing much as far as opening any holes anyway. I wish Gruden would go to an I formation and try running some old school plays. To have 30 yards rushing is inexcusable. If the shit ain't working then you gotta change things up.
The game plan against Philly was clearly pass heavy, if the D could have held up their end of the bargain nobody would care about the lack of a running game right now

If Case Keenum had made that wide-open pass to McLaurin, that might have reversed the momentum, leading to a close victory. Then the running game might just be a footnote of the game.
I was surprised that DJax was able to spread and shred our defense so thoroughly. I really wish we had kept him two years ago, because could you imagine having DeSean and McLaurin together on the field - a DC nightmare.
You guys make too many excuses for Jay.
Fact is he left our best RB at the hotel while the defense was in desperate need of a few long drives on offense.
First 3 Drives in the second half:
3 plays 1 yard TOP: 2:27
3 plays 0 yards TOP: 0:25. 25 SECONDS!
3 plays 4 yards TOP: 2:46
Chris Thompson said DG was injured in the 1st quarter.
Guice carries in the 2nd half:
0 yards
-5 yards
2 yards
The defense was hung out to dry by the offense in the second half.
It would've been nice if we had a future HOF'er as a backup.

Out 6-8 weeks now. Not his fault, but another wasted pick. Based on our luck, Love should just retire now. He is fucked here.

I want to see this kid promoted to the 53 man squad and given a chance, really liked him in pre-season. Shifty, quick, strong runner.

Highly doubt Guice ever becomes a reliable RB1, is what it is at this point.
