Bennett back! Cloud or Moreau to be inactive. Could this be... - Page 3

Devin Vierth · 11-02-2000, 11:11 AM

the end of the line for one (or both)of these two?

I know many of you are high on Moreau, but he has been mainly used in short yardage situations. With Bennett back, will he be needed? Plus, I heard Bill Maas say the other day, the players are uncomfortable with Moreau.

Cloud is a return man, but probably could be replaced in that department. Benching Cloud, means all our offense is between the tackles, (not that he has seen the field in the last couple of games anyway).

Interesting call! But none the less, this call, IMO, is a clear indicator we will be looking to FA (Dillon, Smith, Garner, etc) or the draft next year.

Moreau and Cloud could both become excellent backs, given the opportunity, IMO. A good back needs time and experience to reach a true level of understanding of the offense he is in and the defense that is attempting to stop him. Neither of these two have received that experience. I think that either of these guys could perform as well as, if not better than, Mike Anderson, given the situation. They both just need a chance. Maybe releasing Anders and Bennet after the season would prove to be the best medicine. (O-line help as well!)

What IF the running game really picks up with Bennett back in the lineup? I'm not expecting it. IMHO, NO DAVE SZOTT = NO RUNNING GAME. We went through this a couple of years ago, only now it's worse.

To stick with the topic, I'd sit Moreau.

Bennett is a waste of roster space, IMO. Just give Cloud the damn ball! Let's find out if he's a player or not!

I couldn't agree more. We should have dumped this guy along with Shehee.

Bob Dole just thought this was an interesting thread...

Funny how a lot of folks had this figured out a month ago.
