Running Game


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

I watched the replay on NFL Network tonight. Though we didn't run alot, I felt as the game wore on and the passing game was working well the running game seemed to progressively get better. Rivera also said in his press conference that he felt the lack of success was due to the chemistry of the offensive line, or lack thereof, and that it should improve greatly in the future.

Just think about the passing game in association with a solid running game. It'll make Cam's play fakes so much more formidable.

If Cam continues to be on time and on target in the passing game the running game will improve. We have to get defenses away from the line of scrimmage. It was way to crowded Sunday thus nowhere to run

I think you may be on to something. We do need to figure out out a way to protect our O-line from our opponents' defenses;)

I say we run I formation and get Cam to act as an extra offensive guard. Maybe even help out at center. Might help.

they schemed against it just the way teams did to shut it down last year. stack the box w/ 6-8 and blitz consistently. there was no place for RBs to go. it just opened up the passing game that they didn't think would be successful.

once teams start to try and shut down receivers, the run game will take off again.

Yeah because that has anything to do with what I said. If there's 8 in the box throw the ball. If you are consistent enough completing passes against it there will no longer be 8 in the box then run the ball. This makes more sense then fox saying fug it im running regardless.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
