We should be passing on 70% of our downs

This may not be far off, and it's not because Fozzy was bad today (he usually is though) it's because our passing attack is so hard to stop.  You have monsters in KB/Funchess and then you have Olsen, add Ginn (even with drops) and it's just impossible.  Granted though, running is guarenteed to run down the clock, and with this defense looking not completely the best, we need to run down as much as we can.

I understand the op s complaint.  Much as we all want to pound the ball down the oppositions throat. We may actually be built contrary to what we aspire and need to run more passing plays to win more games.

It's time to adjust our offensive philosophy to the personnel that fits it.  I know we want the identity of a power running team but our offense will be better this year if it's more centered around the pass

 

This not necessarily directed at the OP, but

If you want a PASSING offense you NEED to DRAFT and sign FREE AGENTS that compliment a PASSING offense. For the 1 millionth time. STOP complaining about the Panthers' offense in September when everyone should have been complaining about the Panthers' offense in April and May. Instead, the Huddle cheers as DG drafts another 5 DL and 3 CBs while ignoring the No. 24th ranked passing attack.

The Giants are a passing team...Hence, the Giants spending another high draft pick on a WR that just had a 100 yards today. And remember is a Giants team that was getting Cruz back and already had OBJ.

 

The Huddle loves to comment on the inadequacies of the passing game come Game Day while praising DG for picking a LB in the first with Luke on the team.

Any of you guys wonder that maybe just maybe Fozzy ran the ball so well today because we passed it 40 times?  Fozzy had 100 yards on 16 carries, by far his best game ever for us.  Maybe it's because we passed the ball more than normal, which in turn set up the run.  Before chalking it up to a bad Niners defense or something, remember Todd Gurley couldn't do a thing against them last week

[Davidson Deac II]

Or maybe we passed the ball so well because we ran it 37 times and averaged 5.5 ypc. Or it could be that the coaching staff understands that a balance of run pass makes both work better.

Just keep doing what we are doing.

We aren't going to score on every drive.  Everytime we punt people act like it is a complete breakdown or bitch about Shula

We had over 100 yards rushing in the first half.  Keep doing that.  The reason we were getting 1 on 1 on the outside is because we run the ball effectively.

We start throwing the ball 70% of the time, defenses will adjust how they defend us.

People act like defenses are static.  If we change defenses will also change.  Why fix what isn't broken?

Passing allows good teams to sack Cam. We need the run game and I really feel it's well balanced.

This team will never reach its potential until Mike Shula is run out of town.
