Roy Helu played 31 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, eight more than starter Ryan Torain.
Helu played on all third downs in the first half and then every down in the fourth quarter as the Redskins tried to mount a comeback. He averaged 6.0 yards per touch compared to 2.1 for Torain. If coach Mike Shanahan properly evaluates the tape, he'll reinstall Helu as his every-down back for Week 11.
"What? You thought I'd go with the hot hand RB averaging 7 yards per carry didn't you?! Hah! Fooled you Miami! I don't care what the scoreboard says" -Mike Shanahan
Who cares if he is in more "SNAPS", when they are pass plays and he only blocks for a dropped pass? LET THE MAN RUN THE BALL!!! Like Clinton Portis or John Riggins or remember Terrell Davis.. C,MON MAN!!! Shanahan
Shan has to turn the Rb spot over to Helu. Torain looked slow and was very in effective last week. Helu had 6 Yd Per touch. If I'm Helu I can't wait to move on first chance I get!

That's the problem, Shanahan doesn't properly evaluate the tape.

He's a sick individual whose players should NEVER be considered for Fantasy.

By Sick, I mean that he doesn't care if he's playing the best individuals, just that he outfoxed everybody...lol, I fooled you again. What a dumbass.

I agree with you Gary!

The Redskins are not going to use Helu properly, he will go to another team and become a valuable back. Shanahan has to go.

exactly. Helu is limited by being on a bad team. This snaps business is just a poor effort to inflate his worth

Hey Bill...who is your starting RB this week? Or better yet, who is going to get the most carries. I need to know...lol.

Is there any league anywhere that gives points for most snaps? Ridiculous!!
