Eric Bieniemy
Just curious, but why were you disappointed with Bieniemy? He was better for us than he was for SD, and he filled his role as 3rd down back quite nicely. Here's a summary of his brief career in stripes:
1995- 805 yards from scrimmage - 3.9 per rush - 43 catches
1996- 541 yards from scrimmage - 4.8 per rush - 32 catches
1997- 346 yards from scrimmage - 4.6 per rush - 31 catches (was our primary KR and averaged 23.3 ypr with a TD)
1998- 209 yards from scrimmage - 3.3 per rush - 27 catches
He was phased out as a runner once Dillon was on board, but I felt like Bieniemy did a good job in his role. He was kind of a poor-man's Gio.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
