rivera not concerned about run game

[nosuchthingasapanther]

not sure if this has been posted, and i'm too lazy to check.

if it has been, ignore it and go about your business...

stuck in mud

[CRA]

and he makes a good point.

with how easily we move the ball through the air and the chances we have had once down at the goal.....right now it isn't a great concern. If teams play the pass and we still can't run then it will be a problem.

"I don't think anybody in this organization wants us to rush for under 100 and throw for over 400 every week. Especially without points to back it up. We've got to do better on the ground. We've got to take pressure off Cam. We've got to let him hand the ball off 20-25 times a game and get 150 yards and a couple of scores out of that. That's what we're supposed to do. We're not doing that enough and it's hurting us."

um no gross, thats what we use to do. Pass protection means gross has to work harder and longer during a play. Boohoo. stfu and earn your paycheck.

Gross didn't seem to happy about it thoa

I love the new coaching. If the o line wants to pussy foot and get pushed backwards, fug em, let them pass protect.

Gross just wants to pancake some people... dont hate. Anyone see him kick out on that smitty screen and flatten Woodson? I lol'd

[countryboi]

rivera is just telling the media what he has to......I dont believe for a second he is not worried about running game even though the way Cam has been passing it has to get better

exactly!

Run plays are pretty horrible, no misdirection at all, what happened to the plays where D-lo and J-stew would be in the backfield at the same time? Or the trick plays with d-lo throwing the ball?

Name the top teams in the NFL last year or projected this year......handing it off 20-25 times just isn't the way to win. Much more difficult to stop the pass than run.

Run game no doubt needs to step up....but I dont' think the above is the plan. Not in today's NFL.

Cam is a rookie....and that explains things coming to a hault more than anything in the redozne. The plays have been there. Just takes a little time....these early stalled drives aren't going to waste. They are what he will build and improve off of.

[CRA]

who wants to see Williams throw the ball? that would be a horrific play call.

[chknwing]

ok I'm confused, CRA are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

You know for once I don't believe this is the case. No doubt he wants a better run game, but I think what Rivera's seeing is what everyone should see...."I have a team that can put up 500 yards of offense. I should be able to get 3-4 touchdowns a game easily. I like my chances."

as long as u r moving the ball down the field, who cares how it is moved.
