Spiller has 100-yard rushing day

Spiller’s performance was the first 100-yard rushing game by a former Clemson player in an NFL game since Jan. 7, 2002. Full Story »

Amazing that Chan Gailey insists on taking Spiller out and inserting Tashard Choice inside the 10 yard line. All I saw was three FG's settled for instead of potential TD's ... what happened to going with the hot hand?

Should have had a few TDs as well

I am still trying to figure out why Gailey would let CJ run up and down the field, but take him out in the red zone. The first time it happened, I thought that it might be because CJ was gassed after his first long run to get them into the red zone. After a couple of plays with Choice in there didn't gain any yards, I figured CJ would come in for the third down play. Nope!! While he may not be able to score on a dive play at the goal line, he can definitely cause some confusion with just his presence on the field. He has the hot hand for Buffalo now and Chan is trying his best to cool it off. Perhaps Gailey does not want CJ to create a problem for Jackson when he returns next year. If CJ is not scoring TDs, then Gailey can say that is why Jackson is the starter and relegate CJ to special teams and some long third downs. Just my take!!

my only guess would be maybe he feels Choice is a

more physical runner/harder to bring down inside the 10 yd line? That's the only sensible argument Gailey could bring.

I'm sure that's it.***

But he needed to figure out that Choice wasn't the answer


Dec 24, 2011, 10:35 PM [ in reply to my only guess would be maybe he feels Choice is a ]

after the first couple of times. All game though he did this. CJ creates plays for others just by being on the field and accounted for by the defense. Nobody in their right mind should ever sit their best player during scoring opportunities like that. The Buffalo fans knew what was going on.

LOL. Tongue in cheek I hope.***
