when you're down by 2 TDs in the first couple minutes of the game, you don't run the ball...at least very often. the team in control gets the luxury of running the ball. we never had control and you don't get control back by running it.

we didn't run much because it didn't make sense to.

the rest of the season....the number of carries isn't something i'm all that concerned with.

someone carrying the ball 20 times per game? not going to happen. between williams, stewart, and newton....yeah, 20+ carries is reasonable, but no one is going to be coming near to that themselves, nor should they.

It would be nice to run run run (we know we can), but this year is about getting Cam as much experience as possible.
i don't care if we ever turn back to a "run run run" team.

i like to be able to run when we want, but i'm more interested in a team that can get down the field and onto the scoreboard quickly and frequently.

you stand a much better chance of winning that way rather than running the ball to control the clock.

control the tempo of the game by making the other teams offense keep up and force them to be one dimensional.

control the scoreboard, not the clock.

.

You should. Letting that dictate your game plan with nearly an entire game ahead of you is what gets you beat.

thanks, fox. i disagree completely.

getting 14 points put on the board that quickly gets you beat. deciding to go in and stick with your original game plan regardless of the spanking your just got is what is going to keep you beat.

if you can't/won't adjust to a changing game then you are useless. you have no choice but to play catchup if you have any hope of winning. you lose the ability to dictate anything when put in that situation.

when you are down by a couple scores, you do what is going to get you down the field quickest to increase your chances of scoring. the more time you waste trying to show that you can still run the ball is going to keep you from catching up and getting ahead.

Yes, because going one dimensional worked out so well and wanting to have a run game clearly means coaching just like John Fox.

you are forced to be one dimensional when you are put in that situation.

that's why it's important for your special teams and defense to not suck, esp. early n the game. you put the offense in a situation that they are forced to try and get the ball down quickly. you don't have the luxury of running the ball because it eats up too much clock.

if you want to control the game, you take control early. if you want to regain control of the game later, then you have to get down the field as quickly as possible and score as often as possible. you can't do that with a heavy dose of running.

not sure why thats so hard to understand. when you get abused early by the other team, you forfeit control of the game.

I feel like we need to establish the run. I by no means want to return to Fox offense but i do feel we need to give Stewart or Williams 20 carries a game and get them in a rhythm. It would help Cam. I feel like we are becoming one dimensional again.
Rivera already admitted to doing whatever it takes to develop Cam. The balance will come with time.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Exactly If no 1st rounders ever had those clauses, then it’s not about not signing a contract that puts your money at risk if you do something stupid, it’s about not signing a contract that nobody else has been asked to sign. But now knowing it’s just that he’d be the first Bengal to have to sign that kind of deal, just because they were dumb to not include it earlier when EVERY other team has now been including them, the blame now shifts back to Stewart’s camp and is a really bad look. Sure, the agent is right to ask to not have it included based on Bengals precedent, but once the team really put their foot in the ground, you just have to cave since it’s the league wide precedent now.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Basbear · Posted

      Ill quote you in my simple report.  The best player for the hornets was Simpson. If hornets....by some miracle stay healthy, Simpson will get 0 minutes on the season OR 2-3 minutes in a 50 point barn burner. That's summer league for you.  Kon, much better with the ball, better passer, better deep 3 shooter, and bigger body than I thought.  He never got a matchup with a decent NBAer player. He did look slow and to borrow a video game term- laggy at times trying to defend players that will never get NBA minutes. He's got to figure out how to defend with his limitations. Im not sure he will get over 15 minutes at the seasons start, just depends on the comments before this. The type of system will be important. If Kon is unable to guard players, they will iso him to death and destroy his confidence.  It's starts all over for Kon. He picked up the slack for Simpson fading and was the tourney MVP. Sims scored the win the game before and Kalk had his best game at the end too.  Maybe maybe maybe, these rookies will change the hornets for the better.  My opinion- check back on Kon when the all-star break happens. He's 19 and repeat that until the ears hurt. I hope he's able to keep his confidence level high, the NBA will humble everyone. Lequeen James got drunk on every practice until he got better.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      Ultimately I think this boils down to a difference in personal perception of the situation. And also simple rationalizing because it's still July. I mean let's go back to Cam's rookie season. Anderson was 28. Clausen was still on the roster he was 24. We've basically had Tommy Pickles and his Grandpa Lou Pickles at QB 1 and QB 2 and people are coming at me like I'm unreasonable. Which amuses me. I hope we can at least agree a thumb sprain (lol) was just an excuse to get Andy back on the bench.
