I wonder why Yates is inactive.

So much for Morris being better than 50-50 to play today. Oh well, I don't think that we will need him today but it would have been nice to have him and Morris back today.

I'm getting so sick of this injury prone RB core. This is the writing on the wall for them. They never stay healthy anywhere else, and ecspecially here. I hope we find HEALTHY replacements next year.

Well, maybe Faulk will finally come through with some big plays... oh, he usually does?

Well maybe The Firm will finally get a TD on the stat sheet... oh? In each of his three starts? Ah, ok...

Because Hochstein isn't.

(Although both Hoke and Yates were active last week, but I think Neal can go the full way now)

I wonder why Yates is inactive.

because he stinks?

And I didn't clue in to Hochstein's back-up roles. More important to have him our there, I guess. LeVoir seems like a keeper, glad he's active and holding the "Justin Case"

I'd like to see Jordan and Morris back because of the different skill sets they offer, but the running game has been working without them.

Nevertheless, with the injuries to the running back corps I always wonder when I read about recent releases, a la Najeh Davenport released yesterday by the Steelers, if I am seeing future members of the infirmary. And no, I am not suggesting they add him.

Kevin Faulk and Mayo Seymour-Wilfork, or rather Jarvis Green-Warren, I mean Green-Ellis, are just fine with me for the time being.

Nevertheless, with the injuries to the running back corps I always wonder if recently released running backs will join the walking wounded, a la Najeh Davenport released yesterday by the Steelers.

Well at least Davenport didn't get a thread. But I certainly expected him to, hehe.

Ditto. It's like this team is cursed when it come to RB's. After Curtis Martin ditched, we've had one great season out of Robert Edwards, one pretty good season out of Antowain Smith, and one great season out of Corey Dillon, and that's it. God forbid this team ever has a consistent, healthy, workhorse RB or the world might turn upside down on itself.
