No its not. I can understand a little concern but seriously calling bullsh#t on Riley because one of our backs got too many carries? Come on man31 carries? that's bullsh#t on Riley.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that I was not allowed to criticize the coaches for almost giving a RB a record number of carries in a gimme game.Wow - 3 weeks ago posters said how telling our running game was because no one was good enough to take the lead - now Tre goes for 200 ish and we rip the staff for running a guy that has proven to the staff that he is our guy.... As conveyed by Osborne this is a tough place to coach.
Glad we don't have a pro baseball team - seems like the staff would get ripped every night when the starting pitcher comes out and gets his bag of ice.
31 carries? that's bullsh#t on Riley.
Not complaining that a RB had 31 carries. Complaing that a back that only had 43 carries for 172 yards ALL of last season, sat out of fall practice due to "wear and tear" issues with his knee and sat out of practice Monday due to swelling on his knee.So in the offseason there were some complaining that Riley/Langs don't run the ball enough. Then in camp some complained that we must not have good RBs because there was going to be a committee.
Then in the first game, we have a RB run 31 times and almost reach 200 yards. However, some people still complain.
Classic.
Wasn't me.Should cross-reference all the people complaining in this thread with the people who predicted Wilbon or Ozigbo would win the starting job.
this is from a .500 coach. this is a perfect example of why Riley sucks! piss poor judgement.ZRod said:I remeber seeing him at 21 carries at some point during the third quarter and I though to myself "I hope they sit him the rest of the night, we need him for the rest of the season". Pretty stupid that he got that many carries in the first game of the year, a game which was pretty much in hand until the last 4 or 5 minutes.
Tre is going to be a hell of a back, but the coaches need to take care of him. Giving him 31 carries in the first game of the year is ridiculous!
Yeah, thanks for the rationale contribution. Real glade you didn't let your emotion come through in your post.this is from a .500 coach. this is a perfect example of why Riley sucks! piss poor judgement.
