Fox runs the stalest offense in football.


Awesomeness!!

When we throw the ball on 3rd and anything over 6 I'll rethink this thread..

I didn't say it was boring. I said it was stale, because it is predictable (like someone else said). Nothing wrong with pounding the ball, but we are a complete 180 from the EAgles. They throw bombs down the field on 3rd and 1, we hand it off on 3 and 7. I'm just asking for him to change it up a little.

So basically, you will be rethinking it on virtually every series of downs this year? :)

Fast forward to about a minute-and-a-half in this video and prepare to start rethinking.

That would be 3rd and 26, and in a spot where a more modest gain would have put the team in field goal range and allowed them to take the lead (they were down by only one point).

Fox has allowed a lot more wide open attack under Jeff Davidson than the one Dan Henning ran. Is it still primarily run-based? Yep, but that doesn't equal stale, especially not with two dynamic runningbacks in the stable.

Bottom Line: It's a mistake to judge anything about the offense in preseason, except maybe in week three, but even then I'd hedge.

I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner (like years ago). I noticed how we for the most part run like 5 plays all game. We change tha play ever so slighty that so it doesn't mirror the or original, but if you pay attention you can tell. The sweeps, the handoffs, the smoke passes to Smitty, and crossing patterns with the slot recievers. I don't know if its Jeff Davidson, or Fox, but my god.........

You and marcopolo are the Huddle version of Dumb and Dumber.

Thanks to Mr. Scot for reminding me about that gem from LATE last year against a team that was a gnats hair from the SB, on national TV, in their house.....aside from the loss of Pep, who I didn't see in the highlights, we have Gross back and some new, young, hungry talent. I'm stoked.

That game was in our house, but maybe you should re-watch Peppers is in the highlights.

Go to Adrian Peterson's touchdown run by the goaline. Peppers is there at RE getting blown off the LOS and then standing there in the middle of the field watching AP cross the goaline.
