even the fumble bounced his way. 14 carries 67 yards, ran tough inside, showed the burst a couple of times. Did have the one fumble but we it went out of bounds.

The offense will be so much more balanced if we can run like that regularly.

I actually thought Kurt had a pretty mediocre game but we won anyways, last year we couldn't win without Kurt playing great. This team is improving on both sides of the ball.

Just hope DRC isn't out too long, he and Boldin need to get those ankles healed up

You win big road games like that with a balanced attack. Beanie was on fire. They should have used him more late in the 4th to kill more clock.

Future looks bright for Beanie and the Card's running game

He will be the starter next Sunday.

I liked the rotation tonight, he got 14 carries, TH 4, but TH got the passing downs. And they rotated them in the redzone since both are strong.

He needs to be lined up behind Kreider. With a fullback blocking for him, he can really utilize his vision and speed. And when he gets into the open field and holds onto the ball; LOOK OUT

Maybe he needs to get those rubber armbands that Marcus Allen used to wear to help hold onto the ball. They helped Allen overcome fumbleitis

Beanie started to get quite a bit more carries after TH's lost fumble. Good thing he made the most of it and overcame that "quickness" issue.

Was it me or was he lining up deeper? It almost seemed like he moved a foot or two back to give himself more time to get to the LOS?

I think that quickness issue was legitimate. Whiz lined him up several yards behind Warner and it worked

There was no question about his talents and big run ability. We saw some in the preseason and the first game. Missing most of the training camp really hurt him and then the two fumbles went to his head and he was never really the same. Good to see his coming out party on such a huge stage!!

I had a feeling he would break out tonight. Loved it. Still love T.H. too, and I think that's going to be a good 1-2 punch. Wells needs to be the workhouse though.

I agree. I've been saying that since the Jags game.

Beanie scores again if Wells reggie doesnt trip Warner on the pitch play.

He looked to be about 7 yards deep instead of the usual 5. He did look like he was doing a better job of letting his block set up.

That guy is ridiculously quick for someone his size so the issue did seem to be legit
