Chud Has To Stop Ignoring The Runnning Game

[Lout]

Feed the big uglies HGH plz. We know we play in super bowls when we do that. Do what works.

[beastson]

lol the blocking simply wasn't there today

but keep on with the "herpy derp more carries equals wins" misconception

Whatever

Whether running it more or running it differently, Cam needs a running game

[frash.exe]

No, the offense in general needs better blocking up front by its line. They let everyone get back there today. Simply running the ball more isn't going to solve all our problems.

getting chunks of 4 and 5 yards with your running game will do wonders for your offense

Its not about more attempts....its being effective when you do run the ball. create more 2nd and short/ 3rd and short....

Running the football is necessary and its a basic fundamental to any offense

It's also when you run the ball. I agree with beaston it would have been a great time to start using a traditional offense after Adams big punt return.

Are the coaches still not comfortable with Cam under center perhaps?

[Rubi]

yea the game momentum was totally on our side and we could've knocked them on their ass and i dont know if they would have come back because our defense was on in the 2nd half.

right after that punt return...wouldve been nice to see us line up in a jumbo set and establish some type of balance. we were in the driver seat but we pissed it away

I think Chud just got spoiled and a big head after watching what Stewart and Cam were able to create out of those spread read looks. Thought he could insert anyone there and a D would still be stressed.

When Stewart is healthy it will work again. It is a very simple thing. I think Chud foolishly thought it was just great play calling more than stumbling into 2 guys who did it every week in college and are both oddly built to run it in the NFL.

You don't run the ball a few times in the first quarter of the first game of the season, when the defensive is as fresh as they can possibly be, and give up on it when it doesn't work. We will win zero games with single digit run attempts.

^ I agree. Also, quit fuging running from a shotgun 7 yards deep in the backfield. Your back has to run 13 yards to move the sticks on a 2nd and 5.

It's not necessarily him ignoring it that pisses me off. What blows my mind is these shitty run formations he uses. Quit running a shotgun run offense. That is the worst crap I've seen. Last year it was the same way. Everytime we ran that we were negative in yards or a very short gain. Run a damn I formation and run some stretches or counters. I know this isn't madden and I can't just call and make plays but this draw shotgun bull poo has got to end. It's just ineffective. It's like using a wildcat. It's cool like once a game but no more. Play some power running with Tolbert leading the way damn

Last year wasn't the same way....it flat out works with Stewart and set up the bulk of our highlights from midseason on. That was a large factor in why we were the most effective rushing team in the NFL last year.

We weren't running a shotgun draw today. it looks comparable....but blocking assignments are different and the RB immediately gets the ball.
