What to do about this terrible running game...


Jmac

Recommended Posts

We have a totally inept ground game that's iembarrassing to watch. None of the teams I watched today even came close to the sh%t running game we put on the field Thursday. Is it the scheme or is the Oline just that terrible? Is it the game plan or the play calling? There is no way they can go far this year with that kind of production every week. 

What's the answer as they go into game 6.....or is there even an answer to fix this mess?

Our guards are great but are having a hard time when they're sandwiched between Matt Kalil, Larsen, and Daryl Williams.  You don't want musical chairs on the OL, but Amini or Moton should be looked at at LT.    

If Kalil comes back at Center, we bench the other Kalil and see if it clicks better.  

We also need a new offensive coaching staff.

Need a scheme change. It's obviously on full display how to attack gaps against us the way we are currently "blocking ".

 

I'd like to see moton inserted and run fuging power to the right side behind armah. If he can't lead block bring someone in who wants to fuging hit someone

I feel worse about the run game than I did about our passing game in the 1st 3 weeks. I thought there was some hope. The run game just look useless. They don't want to put in Armah and who knows what's up with Kalil.

It's bad. We definitely need to get this figured out now that we have an additional three days to work on it. Hopefully we'll get Kalil back and that will help, but surely missing Kalil hasn't hurt us THIS bad on the ground.

Scheme is fuggin terrible. Trying to run a power scheme when our line isn't built on power. We aren't overpowering ANYBODY this year. I wish we made the switch to a zone blocking scheme for years now. And yes, a good OC can make a line look a whole lot better than they really are with a good scheme in place.

The fact that we have zero running game if Cam isn't using his legs indiciates we need a scheme change. Cam shouldn't have to be the one to jump-start the running game BY HIMSELF.

For get about it and use the pass to set up the run. You can still control the clock and move the ball. Sometimes your not a running team and have to admit it. The way our defense is playing we can keep most teams to 14 to 21 points.

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
