But I've noticed that the few times he gets the rock, he doesn't seem to have that burst/explosiveness that he had last year down the stretch. He does look a little bulkier this year, maybe he packed on too much muscle in the offseason? He just doesn't seem to be able to outrun anybody, and he doesn't hit holes as quickly as he did last year. Just my opinion from watching him run, but maybe he should lose some weight.

The numbers sure prove that to be the case. 301 yards. You can't argue with success.

I gotta think this is a trust issue with the ball but after 200+ performance from Ward and a nice gritty performance from Brandon I am not gonna argue with not putting in Bradshaw down the stretch.

What really bothers me is that he is being used on kick off returns and Hixon is not. HIXON HAS TO BE OUR KICK RETURNER. I cannot think of one legitimate excuse as to why he doesn't get a chance to return. Injuries? BS. How many of our kick returners have gotten injured this year, or last year, or ever? It will tire him out? Yeah I'm sure the 3 or 4 kick offs he'll do will tire him out for the rest of the game. The guy brings the ball out to the 40 yard line on every kick off and has a chance to take it to the house each and every time. He's proved it time and time again yet they don't give him more opportunities. Is there something I'm missing here? Why is he not used?

So here's my question, which has been on my mind for a few weeks. I hope some of you good fans can help with an answer. Where is Bradshaw? We saw Jacobs and Ward run up a storm tonight. We didn't see Bradshaw run the ball once. He was such a big part of the post-season last year. Why don't the Giants use him now? I know that Ward was hurt last year, but I have to think that Bradshaw is the most dynamic runner we have. Will he play a role again in the playoffs? Is he hurt? Does he not matter to the team that much anymore? Where is Bradshaw? Great win tonight. So here’s my question, which has been on my mind for a few weeks.
