Well, it seems like the past couple of games, Wells has had more success than DD. But when you look at tapes, there is no way that you could say Wells is a better back than DD. DD is a back that hits the hole at 100 mph, and his speed advantage is obvious. The difference is that Wells has had some holes to run through and Davis really hasn't. And after seeing this game, I think it's because Davis hits the hole too fast. It remind me of the Super Bowl Buccaneers where Pitman couldn't get any productivity early in the season because he was not patient. Maybe DD needs more patience to help open up some holes? I think some draw plays with a quick and fast back like DD would be good too.
Also, way to not give up on the run today! Carr would have been pummeled if we were throwing it every down. Our line is obviously not very good. We even had trouble handling a basic 4-man rush! I'm surprised that they didn't keep on blitzing on Carr after they got an easy 3-and-out on us in the 4th with just getting in Carr's face. We definitely need a more productive running game if we want to win more games and help Carr from being hit. Even averaging a modest 3.5 yrds/carry would help out a lot in managing football games. Right now, our running game is pretty dissappointing, and I think we're lucky that the Titans kept giving our run game a lot of respect throughout the game despite our meager run production.
