I don't get it. If he was that good, why was he third string at Liberty? Should we be looking at the first and second-string backs there, who must by logic be guaranteed NFL stars?

Gado = potential 3rd RB

Jessie Haynes = hyped up to be the every down back for the Kansas City Chiefs

There must be a straight line somewhere in their learning curve.

And our defense has been the least productive in the NFL. It just hasn't hurt us on offense -- yet.

Just give them more time and they all will fail miserably. :rolleyes:

The difference is that, so far, the guys they have perma-wood for on offense have gotten it done. Trent Green comes to mind.

Actually, I think Saunders' stubbornness cost us during our four game losing streak last season.

After Blaylock ran for 141 yards in the first half at N.O., the Saints should've been worn down in the 2nd half, but DB only had 45 yards on 13 carries in the 2nd half. LJ should've been used to pound the Saints in the 2nd half of that game.

The next week, on MNF at Arrowhead, we should've used the same strategy against N.E. that we used at Baltimore.....pound the hell out of their defense. That's how Pittsburgh had beat them earlier. But instead, LJ didn't play and Blaylock only averaged 3 yards per carry.

When Saunders was finally forced to give LJ a chance to play, they ran off a 4 game winning streak.

My question exactly ... why only the 3rd. stringer?

Only thing I can think of is that the first and 2nd. team RB went down with injury and he began to shine? But, again, if the other 2 beat him out why are we not taking a look at them?

I hope he lives up to the hype. Time will tell.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. I knew I wasn't imagining it.
