Where was White?

by Bruly on Dec 17, 2009 8:07 PM CST

Can someone explain why last week on four occasions inside the 10 and 1st down White was not used?

He had fresh legs and could have given us TDs instead of field goals. I don't understand the lack of use in that situation. Let CJ carry the load untill they are down to the nitty gritty.This situation is Whites forte! If he was injured that would explain it but he's not on he injured list. Did he piss Hinkydinky off?

That is Whites forte. Unless of course he is injured but I don't see him on the injury list. Did he piss Hinkydinky off?

The only thing I can see

is when Lendale has gone in the last few weeks, he has simply not gotten it done.

He gets stuffed up the middle, ALOT.

and I have not seen anything special he has done.

Why not give it to the most electric player in the NFL, instead of a mediocre-run up the middle and get stuffed-type of guy.

Only my opinion

I thought Lendale had several nice carries in the Indy game...

in some spot duty replacing CJ. That’s really about the only time I’ve seen him play in the last month or so. I love CJ, and I know he’s got to be the man in there, but I sure hate having him in there during meaningless action, like the 4th quarter against the Rams last Sunday. There’s no good reason Lendale should have not been getting the bulk of the carries late in that game.

I personally think

that Fisher is on a mission to help CJ reach the 2000 yds rushing mark and possibly get the MVP/OPY award since the playoff chances are slim.

I agree

Fish is trying to give CJ all the yards and tds he can. I think Lendale is done here in Tennessee.

This is pure speculation.

But, I think Lendale is on Fisher’s bad side. I get the feeling that at some point Lendale started running his mouth asking for extra touches. Hell, he kept him inactive during the Cardinals game for being late to practice.

I don't think LW has ever been anything but....

a short yardage power type back. Now alot of us have questioned Jeff’s decision making this season, and certainly the game you’re referring to is no exception. We would have been much better off punching it in there. So why? Why would he still play Harper? Why would he stay with KC for 6 TERRIBLE games before making the switch? Who knows? I can tell you 1 thing I do know…you don’t want to show up late for any kind of meeting/practice when you’re on an NFL team!!! I don’t care who you are!!! That will piss off a coach faster than CJ runs!!

White's already back on the Silver.

Patron Silver, that is.

This one's for you, #9.

as much as a hate to say it...

the days of the old smash and dash are over. ever since lendale dropped, what, 40 lbs he hasn’t been the same. plus, why not give it to the leader of yards from scrimmage this year? he obviously knows what to do with it.
