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.

    • It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.
    • That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.
    • Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.
