Chud Has To Stop Ignoring The Runnning Game

I've calmed down a bit, but this was a problem at times last season and today played a big part in us not being able to take the lead of the game

Cam can't do it by himself, especially as a rookie or sophomore

3rd quarter, we just scored a TD, got a good punt return and we're on the 41 yard line. This would be perfect time to try to establish the run or at-least slowly and efficiently score another TD. Instead we go for the big play and it turns into an INT. We had all the time in the world here

4th quarter, we have a chance to be what... down 2? Goal line, not 1 running play to Tolbert at-least

We're a very good running team and teams know that. That means even if it's not working, they're still mindful of that. Once you go desperate mode, it makes things harder

You are the 1st and might be the only person I'll pie today. I wish he would have tried to run out of a power set on that series. Or atleast been more conservative on that drive. NO!! 1st play Chud wants all or nothing.

It wasnt so much a lack of run attempts as it was poorly called plays.

Tampa sniffed out the read option early but we kept trying to go to it. Combine that with the fact that we didn't utilize the short to intermediate passing game at all and consistently went down field, it's easy to see why we didn't have any sustained drives today.

Chud used the same gameplan as last yr and the Bucs were ready for it ... they knew that QB draw was coming the whole D-line was waiting for it.

This.

Those option read runs that reinvigorated our running game mid season last year are being read way too easy. NYJ did it in the preseason and the Bucs sodomized us every time we tried it.

Agreed on all points, we need a traditional run game to establish what we are, from the very start. Take the training wheels off Cam, set up that run and subsequently play action passing.

Sprinkle in the shotgun cute poo from time to time, but pray help do not make it a base to an offensive gameplan.

I didnt want to start a whole new thread so I decided to state my case here.

We need to run the ball behind a fullback. It seems stupid to run the ball most of the time out of a single back formation. I just dont see us putting up good rushing numbers vs good DLines if we cant get an extra blocker in the back field to lead the way.

I mean Tolbert is listed has a full back, but not once can I remember DWill running a play today with Tolbert paving the way.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
