I can't beleive that people say Trung didn't step up when Faulk went down........HE DID!! In 2001 he had 78 carries for 441 yards and 6 TDs with a 5.7 AVG (he only started 2 games) he also had 17 rec for 154 yds and a 9.1 avg. 2002 for what ever reason he was in Martz's DOGHOUSE (we don't know why -- there was nothing on the field to justify this -- Martz said that Lemar Gordon beat him out in training camp). Lets look at what Gordon did last year as Martz's "choice" to fill in for Faulk (who missed more time last year than 2001). Gordon: 65 carries 228 yds 3.5 average (he had 5 starts in 2002 vs. Canidate's 2 in 2001. hmmmm.... might be Rocket Science but it looks like Canidate made the better of his opportunity. Also Skins fans might remember that it was Canidate last year who almost BEAT us when Martz gave him one of his token 17 carries last year -- on the last drive he burst though for 22 yards and if not for a shoestring tackle (I don't recall by whom) he would have scored -- it was his ONLY carry of the game. (Gordon had 13 carries for 40 yards No TDs). Gordon also had 4 fumbles for the year -- the "fumbling" Canidate had 2 the year before. Yeah I guess I can see why Martz would want to hold on to Gordon over Canidate. How about you?
