Run game....


CRA

Recommended Posts

- Don't make this thread into a CRA is Williams bashing thread. That isn't the focus.

Some late game production and QB runs made their stat line look okay.....but we ran very poorly overall against a weak run D. Shula IMO is getting too predicable with it. Tolbert is getting very predictable as is Williams within the offense. Plays with Cam under C were almost a joke today. That needs to change. Granted our RBs are playing with a stacked deck bc the only little holes they get are off the left side and opponents know it.

I do feel we missed an opportunity late in that game to get Barner some reps. I would like to see if he can bring an element to our attack, especially in regards to taking it outside.

So my thoughts are....we need more read option looks. No, not full retard early 2012 Chud read option....but we need to kick it up a notch. Not just after we fail over and over and over running traditionally. The read option everyone moans about I think needs to be brought out early in games from now on. Tolbert and Williams both had some nice runs out of it....only one bad one that I can recall.

More read? Or keep on keepin on?

CRA, I know it's been a few hours since we won, but c'mon. Can we just enjoy our first back-to-back W's this season for a while before we get all anal about what's not working quite right? It wasn't pretty but it worked. I love ya man but let's have a coke and a smile right now.

I was just thinking about this right now. The way the run game went today should be the way we should view it against stout defenses. Time to start scheming alternatives. This is arguably the best front seven we have faced this season so it may get easier from here but who knows.

Keep doing what is working. D-Will can't run for 100 yards every Sunday and clearly the Rams spent all week shoring up their run responsibilities. The three games I watched they did not have that type of penetration.

2 of the last 3 games....it hasn't been working at all. That was my concern.

First couple games, under a new OC always have a little different feel as opponents don't really have any true film on you. We are getting worse overall.

Meh, short week.....we play Tampa on Thurs. I enjoyed the win already.

I am ready to talk Tampa and moving on.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
