Why doesn't beanie play more. My question should be why isn't he our starter. Wtf is whiz thinking. I can't think of one legitimate reason for the lack of playing time for beanie. This is pissing me off

20 Carries for 35 yards. I don't think we need an explanation.

The Saints wanted to stop the run and make us pass, we did both no matter what happened. Good day on offense. :raccoon:

The Cards are undefeated this season when Beanie gets 20, or more carries.

Seriously ?

How about some production ?

Wells talks the talk, how about he walks the walk ?

2nd & 3, and he misses the first down by 6" ? 239lbs can't get 3 yards ?

I watched Wells very closely yesterday, and he has some work to do before he shoots his mouth off again, IMO.

This game, I have no gripe with the coach or how often Beanie got the ball. He had 20 carries. Whiz did say, "We didn't run the ball as we have been today and that's because they tried to stop the run and make us beat them throwing the football."

Beanie's good but, yesterday, he couldn't overcome the Saints game plan.

"elite" RBs beat 8 in the box at least a few times in a game. Seen it many many many times.

Game planning doesn't push the pile forward.

Agree. Thought the same thing when I was watching the game last night. Thought where is that "automatic push" everyone keeps saying Beanie has.

Thank You Coach Whiz, I mean it, I seen 20 carries from The Bean from the first time, and yes I know more than I did before.

He did wear them down and they are a top rundefense too, but The Bean had them on the ropes at the end, case in point was he was finally in for more than 1 play in the 4th.

ripped a nice run on first down, followed by a 2nd down 3 1/2 yards and had 3rd and 1. Whiz called a Max Hall pass that got sputtered to the ground like an invisable raptor caught it and killed it in mid air.

If Whiz called the Bean 3 times in a row and He got the first down on 3rd and 1 late in the 4th with the lead, instead of stopping the clock and punting? The Saints would have been demoralized and The entire NFL would have raised an eyebrow.

the game would have been all but over with that first down that could have been, with less risk and more chance of a first down to finish the game.

THT got a couple short 3rd down calls and was smothered, but hey it happens. Beanie got a couple yards on the goal line before Mighty Max Hall got his head tooken off and fumbled the ball to smushdown Levi Brown for a TD.

I would like to see us start Beanie and pound it early and try once to set up the pass with the run, It would work just like it has for a century on other teams. He is still in and out-in and out like a yo yo.The Bean will wear out a ILB after 3-4 hits, they will not welcome Beanie carries come the middle of the 2nd 1/4.

to hell with situational football, FEED the BEAN and create the other teams situation! He puts pressure on the defenses.

And then THT can light them up with fresh legs. but Coach has yet to let RB be the engine on offense, he puts that in the hands of DA and Max now. They are the engine of this offense for better or worse.

20 carries is normal for even elite backs who actually get yards and dont fumble.
