Chris Bullock

[Peregrinner]

Bullock had 92 carries last year and has 49 this year with 2 games left...how is he close to last year's numbers?

Sorry, Bullock is on pace for just 4 carries less than 2007. The 2008 thing was my mistake. The point stands, though. You pointed to 2007 as an example of Brandon knowing what to do with Bullock that year, and it was about the same as this year.

this thread is still going??? jeez cowboy ur about to be on the level of tek for keeping worthless threads going

[cowboyjoe]

Worthless thread? Worthless running game this year because we have basically used one running back (Geter) all year averaging 2.4 yards per carry.

[cowboyjoe]

Yippy, yippy!! Keep going, Chris. Keep running like a freight train. Some of us see what you are doing and respect the yards you are getting in limited action. We are rootin' for you, buddy! Clawson tried to tell us your practices have been poor and that is why you have not got the playing time, but we know that can't be true because you have played every game on special teams and have been in the game as a blocking back all year. We aren't buying that excuse! Get r done big man!

[Flipper]

Yep...it's a conspiracy...

It's Dave Clawson from the grassy knoll.

Bullock's rushing attempts in our 5 losses this year:

Missouri 1
Marshall 2
Boise 7 (all in 2nd half after game was "over")
Ohio 2
Central Michigan 1

You have to be able to run the ball against the better teams and we were playing these games with both hands behind our back (Bullock not in these games) Conspiracy or just bad judgement?

Time for a new hobby, Joey. Maybe you should take up scrapbooking. You could probably make a really nice collection of pictures of you and G.B. riding tandems and eating spaghetti and spinning clay pots together, shirtless in the basement.

Yea, and in the games we have won he gets all his yards in the 4th quarter when we are up and trying to run out the clock on worn out defenses. In the games we have lost, we have been forced to play from behind or play to our strengths which is passing, limiting bullocks carries. Look, no one is questioning the talent bullock has, but he is a role player!! His job is to run out the clock and secure wins when we have the lead...what is so bad about that? We have been winning yet you still find a way to bash what the coaching staff is doing...if its not broke, dont fix it! What we have done the second half of the season is working and I am happy with what the coaching staff has been able to do in their first year...It is a good time to be a Falcon, especially if we beat the Turds tomorrow and secure a bowl bid.

Sorry for the rant, just had to get that out...HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!

Way to spend your Thanksgiving looking up these stats.

[cowboyjoe]

Didn't have to look them up...easy to count to 1, 2, and 3 carries per game. If it's not broke don't fix it? We have "broke" 5 times this year and it's because we had no balance in those games. You can't throw every down against Missouri, Boise, and the Central's. We "broke" big time against them.

[Flipper]

Yeah...that 62 yard run by Bullock on the last drive was a thing of beauty.....


...oh...wait...never mind...

[dstubb]

Bullock is 5'10, 218 lbs and had 2 attempts to stick it in the end zone at the end of the game from the 1.

Then Clawson called on the 5'7, 175lbs Willie Geter to stick it in and he did.

Geter, 16 carries for 116 yards, 3 TD, avg 7.1
Bullock, 6 carries for 14 yards, avg 2.3

Here's the final BGSU drive play-by-play:

Bgsu 1-10 at Bgsu11 BOWLING GREEN drive start at 03:15.

Enough said?

[factman]

Yeah......like Brandon's offense had a lot of "balance"!
At least DC is trying to get there.

[eRichFalcon]

No, you guys don't get it. Clawson tells the OL not to block for Bullock, because he hates him.
