Question about Sunday's game: Ryan Grant

[Kiwon]

I didn't get to see the game.

What's up with Ryan Grant? How come he got only four carries? Is he injured?

[Brandon494]

Starks is better

[smuggler]

The line doesn't block well, and Starks can run through guys. Grant is faster, but he's no burner himself and he goes down with every hit.

[Fritz]

What smuggler said.

[sharpe1027]

Starks had only 13 carries. They barely called any running plays.

[Freak Out]

At this point one would have to assume that Grant is in there for his pass blocking more than anything....Starks should continue to get all the carries. Grants not bad but Starks is much better at this point.

Seems to me hey trade having good games. Neither is better than the other.

And I think this might have been a mistake. Starks had some decent runs. Were the coaches afraid of them fumbling a rain soaked football? When we practically abandoned the run the Chargers pinned their ears back and hit Rodgers more than I'd like.

I think Grant was hurt by the limited number of possessions. Not many plays overall for the offense compared to SD.

Maybe, but it is hard to argue with the results. IMO, a lack of offense was in no way the problem.

Yep.

Grant's nice only because he gives Starks body a break.

[Harlan Huckleby]

why run more when AR is hitting a silly high percentage of passes? I don't think S.D. smelled a pick all day.

Grant used to be more of bruiser, if memory serves me. I doubt pack will bring him back next year.

Can't decide whether Starks is slow to the hole, or patient with his blockers. Sort of a fine line, like the difference between being voluptuous and fat. What I know for sure is he is good after he gets a little steam.

I know, I just don't like to see Rodgers getting hit at any time. His health is kinda important to this team.

This. Just a few weeks ago Starks looked like a total idiot running the ball hesitantly and picking the wrong holes.

[Fritz]

Well, you can say the offense isn't the problem in this game, but take away the pick sixes and the score is 38 - 31 SD. 31 points ain't bad, for sure, but SD's offense put up 38. If ding dongs on the radio are going to say this team don't need no stinkin' defense, then they ought to be complaining about the offense not being able to keep up with SD's.
