2009 Run Game


Carolina Crazy V2

Recommended Posts

Deangelo

We didn't really find our run game until week 8 vs. the Cardinals. If we can start of next year the way we played from that game, on, Deangelo will be on pace for 1957 yards in 2009. We all know what he is capable of.

Stewart

Stewart was inconsistent which isn't necessarily what you want from your #2 back, but it did help us out in situations when we were down, and Stewart came in and ran the ball really well(Chicago, Atlanta) and had the occasional big run(Green Bay, Tampa, Detroit). He can only get better next year.

If our running game starts rolling right out of the gate next year, we'll see some big numbers and an improved offense as long as we keep Gross. Moose yields to show signs of aging so if Jake avoids turning the ball over 6 times in any game, we should see a consistent offense.

Yeah I have no concerns with the offense, the defense is the bigger concern right now

With that said, I PRAY they STILL find a way to get better on offense. You dont want to not address any positions and then wonder "what happened"... I say keep going after ANY big ass OL and maybe start looking for a replacement for Hoover. (and a new #3 RB)

I think Jarrett will come into his own + we have carter and then robinson.

We just need to continue to build a strong LINE.

--- As far as Williams - he will have a shot at 2,000 yards as long as he continues to get 15/20 carries a game.

Im excited :D

I think the offense will improve through better playcalling. Davidson improved a lot over last year in how he prepared but he still needs to get better at in-game adjustments. Granted, he had stability at QB this year but the line was all over the place and he adjusted in his preparations just fine.

If Davidson brings back the screen and other short passes, if Gross is resigned and our line stays healthy, and if we stick with the run even when we're down then I think that's as big as improvement as any player will bring.

If he wants a shot at 2,000, he needs to see a bump to maybe 20 - 25 carries per game. While that may cut from Stewarts carries around 5 carries per game, if he runs for a 5 yd avg. he will have around 800 - 900 yds still.

Herman Johnson will be gone in the early second round. Besides, if we ****** him up before drafting a defensive lineman the boards will implode. :)

If we can get 1st round pick for Peppers we can address DT in the 1st. A few cuts in the off season and we'll have plenty of money to sign a few people. If Johnson fell to us we have to take him. 8 in the box it wouldn't matter you'd still get annihilated.

The offense will improve and be more consistent if our coaches actually find a short and mid-range passing game. A vertical game with 35-40 yard throws down the field does not provide enough consistency.

Just watch the Ravens...they do the same thing. Their defense is good enough to keep them in ALOT of games.

Oh hell, if he fell to the bottom of the 2nd we could take him as BPA. Not gonna happen though.

And yes, he's a right guard for LSU, big road grader. Weighs close to 400 pounds, and is the biggest player in LSU history.

i though i was the only one that noticed this..when he was in the game for long periods of time he did not look that good...

    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
    • Push em to the brink!!! Shut em down Freddie!
    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
