Chase Reynolds' Monster Day!!!

[EWURanger]

Neither team would trade (straight up) for the other guy...!!!
Montana wants the guy they have and Eastern wants the guy they have...

Only one of the two guys will likely be playing in 4 weeks...

A lot of good comments in this thread about these two fine backs (not to mention Smith and others).

I'm betting that you're right about neither team being willing to trade for the other's running back straight up--literally. Eastern does run more of a finesse running game, and Montana likes to run between the tackles with power a lot more. In Montana's case, that's just Bobby Hauck's MO. He likes to have a big, dominant O-line and a punishing back (see, e.g., Hilliard, Lex) that can take a game over in the last quarter, just flat-out wearing down the opponent, and in the process chewing up whatever clock it might have had to mount a comeback. This doesn't often lead to a lot of quick, flashy scoring, but Bobby's 74-16 record at UM seems to indicate that it definitely has its merits.

This style still rankles a lot of Griz fans who can't seem to come to grips with the fact that we have a different coaching staff than we did in the the old days of Air Bear.

Ditto. Sure is frustrating in a close game when you your team has this kick-ass offense and you can't get them on the damn field! The 2008 UM-EWU is a good example of the above.

Not to mention Jones still leads the Sky in total rushing yards by 81. Jones and Reynolds are tied on both rushing and receiving TDs.

Hey, you Eastern fuckers.......go start your OWN lovefest for Jones. This is the CHASE REYNOLDS MONSTER DAY thread.

Fuckin' hijackers.

Just be happy that JMU doesn't have a decent running back. They would have been all over this thread the second you posted it!
