Tice has something against MeMo because in two years now he has been effective and then one very weak injury has seemed to take him out ... Tice has no love for people who can put up with the nicks and bruises of football, so he has no loved for a back that wants 25 carries a game but gets hurt if he gets more than 10 ... Bennett is more durable, which is ridiculous considering his problems ... but it gets him some respect from Tice because whenever he asks Bennett to go out there he does, Bennett does not give wishy washy answers all week on his health ... he either is hurt or he isn't ... MeMo is wishy washy all week and then whines about his time ... I am not happy with Bennett all the time and think MeMo has more to offer (except he cant block a lick), but MeMo's constant barrage of minor injuries shows a lack of toughness that a RB needs to be a 25+ carry guy ...

Tice seems to have his run ins with player like Mitch Berger and Hovan and now Moore seems to be Tices latest focus, Moore may be doomed, the thing I don't understand is how he has such blind love for Bennett, Bennett has had his share of nicks and dings, fumbles etc.
Troy Williamson may also be on Tice naughty list as well, but hopefully he can get off of it as James did in the last month.

Sorry boys, but I'm backing Tice on this one.

His quote says it all & I'll repeat it;

"Players who want to get in the game typically stand around the coach waiting to get their number called. On an occasion when Tice said he looked for Moore, he was nowhere to be found."

If Memo was eager to play he'd be all around Tice wanting to get into the game.

It has to do a lot with attitude, eagerness & the desire to play.

You can't show that if your just sitting on a bench somewhere waiting for your number to be called.

Not if Tice has anything to say about it.

True. After every game we hear about a sprain or something else. I don't think Tice hates MeMo, I just think he wants him to toughen up and show a bit more eagerness to play with these nagging injuries.

The fact is though I don't think either one of these guys can be counted on to carry the full load and they probably will have to split carries.

bennett scored twice on sunday, are we forgetting this? and the week before he had how many yards? two weeks in a row bennett has shown up and played football. as long as bennett is helping, like he has two weeks in a row, i dont care if he plays or not.

Against the Detoilet Lions and the St. Louis Shams I might add. I think John Madden could've put up the numbers Bennett did in those games.

I'm growing more and more worried that that will in fact happen.

Tice doesn't have blind love for Bennet, he just hates Moore's wishy-washiness, which makes Bennet the only other option at RB. Are you saying we should start Fason?
