2009 Run Game

[Carolina Crazy V2]

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

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.

Lets get Herman Johnson in the draft and our run game will be unstoppable. Imagine that guy next to Otah. Total destruction.

[Cyberjag]

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.

Does he play RG?

[MadHatter]

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.

Does he play RG?

Plays LG but im sure he could switch to RG. Damn i dont want to think about how awesome it would be to have him ill get my hopes up. It would be one hell of a run blocking line.

[Carolina Crazy V2]

I like Herman Johnson, but there's no way we don't address the d-line or cornerback before RG.

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...
