rush attack today - big impact

[CRA]

AZ run D is legit....and that allowed them to tee off on us(which we didn't adjust to). Reoccurring issue regardless of OC under RR

Tolbert's run with 32 seconds left before half at our own 20 skewed there stats....the RBs did little. AZ was passively sitting back seeing if we were going to take a shot before half and Tolbert ripped one. Take that one run away???

3.3 yards a carry for 50 yards. (70 rush yards by RBs with the Tolbert run)

I think that us largely an OL stat more than RB stat (so lets not make this a DWill thread)

But when our run goes away and opponents don't respect it and pass rush all day....we always suck. Rivera never has had plays to counter the pass rush. I think they worked in one screen the entire time we were being abused (it of course went for a nice gain but that was it). In today's NFL teams don't always get a nice rush attack to aid them.....when we don't we implode offensively. Teams bring heat when it doesn't have to be respected.....and we can't counter. Couldn't under Chud....couldn't under Shula.

Cam just sits in the pocket...waiting for his deep stuff to develop and gets popped. Repeat.

From what I have seen there is never been a safety valve. Chud nor Shula use the RB at all unless to rush. IMO for what they are the Oline pass blocked ok. If we would have used just a few underneath patterns and more screens we would have been ok.

We simply don't have the talent on the OL.  We couldn't run block or pass protect today.  Our OL is just plain bad.

There is a lot about this offense I don't understand.

I completely agree that our playcalling did absolutely nothing to help our OL.  Shula calls plays like we have San Fran's OL.

Reminded me of the Giants game last year in the 2nd half. Zero threat on the ground.....opponent just brought heat as we sat there not countering all day.

Our OL sucks....we don't help out much. Or Cam.

[Cpt slay a ho]

still don't understand why they abandon the run, with how aggressive zona was playing we had a high chance of breaking one depending on the play call.......no more draw plays no counters no toss, i don't understand in a close game like that with ARZ blitzing like crazy you did little to stop or adjust it, our own coaching staff made us one dimensional not ARZ
