I remember the big knock on him coming out of the draft was that he runs so high and talent evaluators were concerned that he wouldn't last very long in the NFL with that kind of running style. Maybe they were right. I have him on one of my fantasy leagues and I'm stunned at how little the Bears have used him in the passing game. Cutler doesn't dump off to him near as much as I thought he would. But the o-line is pretty weak for the Bears, so that is probably the biggest reason for the drop off in production. Chris Williams isn't playing like a #1 pick. Also Kreutz and Pace are just old now and not nearly as dominate as they used to be in their primes.

On sunday nights game, plummer did make a few nice plays and his longest run of the season thus far.
