We Fix The Run Game, We're Fine, Stop Being The Huddle

why not fix it if its that easy?

Ron said right after halftime we needed to run the ball better. First play and we lose yards.

I said it last week that such poor run production is not something we can live by in the long run. Whatever we're doing is not working.

Ryan Kalil.

At this point, we can't pin our hopes on someone that is trending in the wrong direction with injuries.

Getting Kalil back will help, although Larsen wasn't the weakest link tonight. At some point we need to get a fullback involved again, these H-back sets may be flexible but sometimes you need to have someone out for blood and that's it. We really need to get more counter plays involved as well, we run strongside way too predictably.

Get back to basics, we tend to get cutesy with all the motions and pulls, sometimes you need to put a hat on a hat and run downhill. That's just Football 101, if you can't do that then you don't have the right players on the field. Sadly, our best linemen let us down a lot tonight, just have to suck it up and come back and play better.

Early on in the game we tried just running down hill, though every time it was on first down, to the left side, with Stewart the lone back 7 yards deep...

He hasn't seen anything, just pom pom waiving little girl poo with no standards.

 

*Edit read his replies*

So basically get a new OC rofl....can't make this poo up.

I doubt the coaches expected the inside of our offensive line to get manhandled like they did tonight. These are among our best players, but they had a very bad night. We have also played some good defensive fronts back-to-back.

When you can't outmatch a team with talent you outmatch them with scheme and fundamentals. We did nether and played into there strength.

At the end of the day..FU!!!! We're not confident enough to gain 4th and 1 when it counts on the ground

Other than reduced opportunity, how does improving the run game change things like Cam throwing into coverage, Shula play calling, RR conservatism, lack of takeaways, and here's something new this year, poor tackling?

Play-action???

If you force safeties to help the run, it helps the passing game. It also takes wear and tear off your QB, especially a QB who just had shoulder surgery especially on a short week

[beckersteen]

fixing requires adjustments

and when have you ever had faith in this team to do that?
