Also, has anyone noticed a huge improvement in Barbre. I don't think he's been nearly as bad since game 1 and maybe game 2. Makes it interesting when Tauscher is back.

Well I sure hope that Lang gets the start next week. I don't want to see Jared Allen beating up on an injured Clifton again.

and yes, there have been many remarks around here the last 4 weeks about Barbre's improved play.

I do not have faith in grant. imo i think we should get a faster more explosive back in the draft to either complement him or supplant him. it wld be crazy great if when we drafted a man by the name of Jahvad Best is still around. or even try to package deal and trade up for him. Maybe even CJ Spiller. i really like spiller and his ability to make people miss and totally avoid contact with them by using his speed.

It's amazing what holes, blocking and opportunities can do for a running back's performance.

I'm not sure where this garbage time carries is coming from because ... that's not accurate. I think his 37 yarder may have come in 'garbage' time even with that said, he did very well today. Browns or not, he ran very well. You take your time to blast the man, now show your objective side and give the man his due credit.

Mm gave him the rock early and often. I wish I could say I told you so, although it's freaking obvious to everyone. More runs, better chance you'll have a running game.

Again, Grant is the type of back who needs to be touching the ball, often to be effective. At least in my opinion.

What a difference a week makes. Grant's YPC is now a respectable 4.2, and he is 6th in the NFL in rushing yards. Check it out:

By the way, I believe Quinn Johnson made a monster block on that 37-yarder.

He certainly did. And Grant did a great job of following him.

I know we played the browns this week. And I know he got a lot of garbage time carries. But i saw some glimmers of hope this week. Not only did I see him actually follow quinn through holes but i saw him hit the cutback lane a few times. The thing I was most impressed with was the way he was attacking defenders. I haven't seen grant run a guy over in a long time, and this week he just looked...hungry. Obviously facing the queen's d-line is a whole different story. The things I saw this week just gave me some hope for the rest of the season. What did you guys see?

Having Lang and Quinn in there is great. We actually had a running game today. Looks like Grant was excited about it too. He was actually making moves and juking guys. On occasion, anyway.
