Those guys can catch. I love Lindsay and how hard he runs but HP is right, he’s a one trick pony.

If we want him to be a 3 down back he needs to be able to block a little and be more of a threat in the passing game.

After the first few drives - It looks like the Broncos O found a good groove. Was nice to see balance. Happy with the win. Rookie QB’s can’t hang with the fangio D.
Hopefully Hill will also fall prey to to it next week.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4)– Phillip Lindsay is not getting the respect he deserves in the eyes of one former NFL tailback. Maurice Jones-Drew played nine seasons in the NFL and he now works as an analyst for the NFL Network.

In his weekly column on NFL.com he highlighted Lindsay’s 55-yard touchdown run against the Chargers and wondered why he wasn’t getting the ball more.

“Although Lindsay’s a smaller back at 5-foot-8, 190 pounds — likely a big reason why he was overlooked as a prospect — he’s extremely explosive and has good vision. He’s able to find creases and take it the distance,” Jones-Drew said.

Yep.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced Tua Tagovailoa in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Denver Broncos in a move that coach Brian Flores said was not injury-related.

Flores made clear that there will be no wholesale quarterback changes, meaning Tagovailoa will remain the Dolphins' starter despite being benched for performance Sunday.

"Tua wasn't injured. We just felt like it was the best move at that point of the game -- we had to get in two-minute mode and we felt like [Fitzpatrick] gave us the best chance to win the game and we had an opportunity at the end to tie it," Flores said.

What? I loved that game, suits me right down to the ground. That’s my kind of football, good thing I wasn’t wearing sweatpants.

MO? I agree.

UR? Yeah, right.

Ooooh - another one:

So, I think this is more caused by winning than it is the cause for winning. Your backs are much more likely to have more carries in games you’re winning than they are in games you’re losing. That’s just the nature of how most NFL coaches think. Get a lead, like Denver did Sunday, and then run the ball.

But there’s a point to playcalling here too. Denver is successful when Lindsay has the ball in his hands. Get him the damn ball.
