Since our Guards suck so bad, wouldn't a quick outside runner like Sheets help. Stop running up the middle in to a wall and run some to the outside.

While Frank was out, they should have had Coffee and Sheets splitting carries.

A RB that can score against 5th stringers?

No, a runner who keeps his head up while running between the tackles. If you watch the slow motion you'll notice that he dips each and every potential tackler. And yeah, he's a 5th stringer too...

my point exactly

But Good Luck to Sheets. Our offense is designed for more inside running than outside running which doesn't fit Sheets game.

Doesn't matter what the O is designed to do, if they can't execute

Which is a moot point to be honest.

Yeah it is pretty crazy that a playoff team with probabbly the best running game in the NFL would take some guy off our practice squad and put him on the active roster. Bill Parcells doesn't know what he is doing by wasting a roster spot.
Move makes sense for the phins, they lost Pat Cobbs for the season...

Yup, they obviously see something our FO didn't

he will shine in their wild cat offense

Speaking of Wildcat, what happened to ours? I know we had little success with it but we need to try anything we can to gain yards. The last time we tried W.C it was on 3rd & long (Week 2 I think) and if spurlock wouldn't have over thrown V.D we would have had a 1st down. It beats running a draw, plus, as we all know, Michael Robinson was a QB in college. Get him in there & mix up running it & throwing it.. Do Something Dammit!!
Its ok we got Michael Robinson

That's obvious. I'm just stating a lot our run plays are between the tackles.
Can't we at least get a chance to counter, like a first rights of refusal or something? f**k, now we have Gore, Coffee and Robinson.....way to f**kin go! How many WR do we have again? 10? 12? Clearly having more recievers than we will ever use is more important than having more than one capable backs in a smath mouth run first offense...

Who says a ps player can't do anything? Look at Clifton Smith from the Bucs. He made the pro bowl last year.
