My thought is they play Demps and Rainey because they have the ability to break the big gain, IF they can get to and through the hole quickly enough. This actually helps dispel the myth that Urban and Co. are happy with long boring drives that eat up the clock. They would be happier if Demps could take one of these dive plays and go 60 yards. If they were really interested in 12-15 play drives, they would use Moody more. As I say this, I don't have anything against Demps and Rainey, I just think we are utilizing them in the wrong way. It is okay to run them between the tackles occasionally to keep the defense honest, but it shouldn't be their staple. Ken K MNGator

Yes, Pick'em is a dumb game. I'm never playing again! Demps is getting the ball more because he's averaging 7 yards a carry. Moody is averaging 3 or 4. We're playing a conservative offense because it's working. We don't have to rack up lots of points. Our defense only allowed 3 points Saturday. There have only been 2 touchdowns scored on us all season. And those were both late in the game when we didn't care if they scored.

I thought this was the perfect game for that to happen, but on 3rd and short he is on the side...
