I'd love to see some more play calling where the backs are getting screen passes. I think both could become more explosive with a catch out of the backfield. This could help Jantz out with his timing and keep the defense more honest.
The numbers say differently, but i think James White is the more consistent back than Shontrelle at this point. But, that's likely because of the running style differences. Shontrelle is more shift and juke, and White seems to run a little bit more North/South. I was also impressed with White's breakaway speed.
One question i have is, why hasn't Duran Hollis seen a few carries? I'd like to see what he could do given the chance even though i like the current 1-2 punch.
After this week I'm jumping to the James White bandwagon. I didn't realize he had another gear when he gets in the open field like that! Plus I'm sick of Shontrelle fumbling.
When I said I want to see more and more of James, I did not mean take away from SJ, but use SJ in a different way. I want to see James do more of the prototypical RB duty, and SJ do more screens, sweeps, etc.
Both are great backs and both have their place in this offense. It is very encouraging to see what these guys have done so far this year.
I would like to continue to see more and more of James White. He seems to hit the hole harder than SJ, gets vertical, and gets yards. It seems like he breaks arm tackles a little better too. Anyone else agree?
Also, White had about 80 yards and a touchdown called back on holding penalties last night.
