E Johnson is better than Grant

[maly]

There were a lot of reasons we lost today but our running back rotation is putting the nail in the coffin with our already inept offense.

Emmett is clearly the best and most consistent player we have on offense. He consistently gets the most out of every play, but as soon as he gets going, he gets yanked off the field.

There were at least 4 runs Grant cut outside for no yardage or losses that Emmett would have cut up for a good gain.

So frustrating.

Really frustrating.


Barthel seems to like Grant. He keeps giving him touches. I don't get it.

Feed EJ. Let him get a rhythm going.

Yeah, I don’t get that

Johnson understands squaring your pads and cutting it up. Grant and Fleeks just dance and then go outside.

Grants inability or bad habit to not get north/south is beyond frustrating. Last year I just chalked it down to poor OL play, but now it’s just a bad habit that’s not going to get fixed this late in his career.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

yep. Puzzling decision to play Grant so much. The dude should ride pine until absolutely needed. He is not a good back.

They might be trying to preserve him going forward? But I agree he needs more touches. Anyone know what the difference in touches were today?

 

[maly]

Johnson had 13 and Grant had 9.
I know Johsnon isn't big but 20 carries is not asking too much. Especially the way he runs.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Johnson needs to have 75 to 80% of the carries and be briefly spelled by Grant. RB by committee needs to be put to rest

 

[nostromo78]

Maybe he is hurt? Not 100%?

If he was he didn't look like it.
