MJD To The Ring Of Honor Someday? I Hope Not.


Quote:Taylor's strength was not inside the 5 yard line.  His style was to wait for the hole to open then use his quickness to burst through it.  There are no holes at the goal line.  That requires a straight on hard nosed runner that bangs into the hold.  The risk of losing a yard or 2 w/ Freddie at the 1 yard line outweighed just giving Mack the ball and letting him pound.
 

That isn't entirely true. While it may not have been his strength, it wasn't a weakness for him. Coughlin loved to substitute him at the goal line, and there wasn't a legitimate reason for it. MJD was arguably better at short yardage situations, and his presence was justified. However, throwing in Mack, Stewart, Stith, and the handful of others to rob Taylor from these TDs were stupid. Stewart may have been the only one equally effective. Are you telling me Stith, Mack, Howard, Shelton, etc. were better at short yardage?
