It sucks that we probably lost 2 games because of his fumbles...reminds me of the 2 fumble game that Jamal had against the Donks...cost us the game...does anyone really thing Jamal was a shitty back??
Settle down guys. Shady is still a helluva weapon. It's maddening to be sure, but he's still the best back on this team, bar none. Roll with Shady. He's not a fumble machine as the stats bear out. [Reply]

This is a very bad habit and I damn guarantee Andy already said something to him after his first fumble and why he never saw the field again last night.
I am talking about the ridiculous accusation that mccoy is getting stripped because he's carelessly palming the ball. Which is the unusual thing he does when there isn't a defender around but somehow in his career has never caused problems. Both of his fumbles this year he had the ball tucked under. Yes, he needs to work on how he's doing that. It's something that hasn't been an issue most of his long career. But that is a much different issue than fumbling because of reckless street ball.

Shadys issues right now are a lot more tiki barber than they are Jamaal Charles. Charles was a chronic fumbler. Shadys issues are just showing up out of nowhere. I have no doubt bieniemy is extraordinarily qualified to fix it. [Reply]

I was told by CP that our OC was in charge of which RB is played. [Reply]
