Losing Otah was a major blow to our running game not only because of his strenght and size, but because our backs could hide behind him. The sheer size of Otah makes it difficult for LBs to see which way our RBs are going. Losing sight of Williams for a second can force a LB to hesitate or guess as to which way he's headed. Guess wrong and get a 2009 run. I'm sure Fox is feeling sick that both Duke and Otah are out with injuries. I doubt opposing LBs could see well behind the Duke/Otah wall.

We have literally NO outside run right now. Opposing defenses not only are putting 8 in the box now, they know we're going to run it up the middle. Combined with lackluster O-line, a overrated overpaid penalty machine in Gross, and a FB that isn't as good as the last one, it's not going to be good.

IMO, the only way we get around this is if the passing game starts getting better so they can't stack 8 in the box.

      Canes in six what years?    I'll be shocked if they win one game not to get swept lol if you think that I urge you to go watch the press conference that's a team that's mentally beaten and has no answers.

      Disagree that CB is a massive need.

      This sentiment is really starting to bother me. Because, you are right. We do have one of the most well run organizations in the league. And, a lot of fans seem to think that Rod is that entire organization. This line of thinking completely discredits all of the hard work that GMs, scouts and players have put in to make the team what it has become. Not to mention the impact that the ownership change has had on the team. You will never hear me singing the praises of a billionaire. But, the fact is, we went from a cap floor team to a cap ceiling team under TD. Have we dramatically improved from the dark old days since Rod took over? Absolutely. But, he wasn't the only one contributing to that rise. And if he leaves, the house of cards isn't going to magically crumble. At this point, we've seen enough players leave and flourish (or come here and wither) to know that isn't true. The organization isn't one man. But, one man is responsible for setting lineups, line combos, d pairings and drawing up set plays. And, to me, that is what lost us these 2 games in embarrassing fashion. I don't believe that Florida is just some unbeatable juggernaut running roughshot over the league. Last I checked they didn't go 82-0. If you believe this is a personnel issue, by all means, bame the players, the scouts and the GMs. Blame everybody but RBA. If there was one player or position group to blame, I would tend to agree with you. When an entire team collapses, it's not on the players. It's on the leadership and they are the ones who should be held accountable.
