I don't believe it to be a foot issue at the moment, more a technical one. I have a suspicion that Green-Ellis is being too patient waiting for the linemen to perfectly execute their blocking rather than smashing the gap when it presents.Fair enough though on the blocking point, was BJGE and Riddley receiving different blocking on all their plays?? However, I see your point regarding this game being reminiscent of that game where BJGE was going no where and Riddley was tearing it up. Many, including me, thought we have to get Riddley more reps versus the Jets. Then the Jets came and BJGE was lights out. However, Riddley looked like a slasher again vs the Broncs and, you'll have to admit, BJGE has not been tearing it up (not this week, last week, etc) With Riddley twice now showing that quick-elusive-slicing ability, let's see if this is something that can work week to week? He's a rookie and he needs some reps to show what he can do in the playoffs.
I'm a BJGE fan. The guy is a Patriot player. But with the defense as shaky as it is, adding a quick slashing/knifing RB to our compliment of plays/weapons would be very nice for our offense.
I firmly believe Green-Ellis is our best runner but only a fool would argue against the effectiveness of that three headed monster yesterday. Green-Ellis, Ridley and Woodhead all looked fantastic at one time or another.
