reason for optimism: Running Game

I went back and watch both games the past week. I was impressed with our oline blocking during run plays. I think if this team can at least establish the run game, they should be fine (barring fumbles of course).

 

I am more curious to see how the team reacts this week when we actually put in a gameplan rather than just calling plays based on situation.

 

it appears to me that the right side has been TAKIN CARE OF BUSINESS, EVERYWAY.

 

Well, Foster is on the left, and he wasn't good enough to be a starter last year when our OL sucked.

 

you're kiddin' right? is this april fools?

HINES

 

No, I am not kidding. Go back and watch the games. The run game is doing good. It's our passing attack that is struggling. This game against the Chiefs will tell us more.

 

I agree. I'm not sure how anyone could say that the oline has been playing well.

I agree that the line is doing well in RUN blocking. LSH averaged 6 yards a carry behind the 1s and Dwyer was up around 7 yac behind the 1s.

 

yeah and tinker brittle bell had 9 yards in 4 carries.. 2.25 per carry... thats a great start... great OL run blocking ... hahah

HINES

 

when you run the ball not all runs are going to be good. do you expect the running back to get 4 yards every time he touches the ball because that will never happen.

 

also do you not remember bettis? those two yard carries turned into 6 plus yard carries in the fourth quarter. he is a grinder.

 

I predict this line is going to gel and our running game will crush 'em. Teams will have to adjust to it after it's established and the passing game will be just fine there after. I expect to be in top 5 rushing teams this year no matter who carries the rock.

 

4? who said i expect 4? but i expect a lot more than tinker bells 2.25 average,,, and now that you mention a off the wall number....4.... yeah 4 is certainly not out of the question... a ton of RBs averages 5+ YPC last year so why is a 4 yard AVERAGE out of the question.. of course they are NOT going to get 4 yards EVERY carry but they can certainly AVERAGE 4 YPC .. and a 2.25 average will only get you one thing... OFF THE TEAM

HINES

 

i'll have some of what hes drinkin and some of those rose colored glasses.

HINES

 

actually redman has a career YPC average of 4.2 ... dwyer has a 4.3 YPC,, so why shouldnt a #2 pick like tinker bell be able to average 4 or even 5 like many NFL Backs?

HINES

 

Um, I think you hurt feelings around here when you tell the truth...

 

hey,
if you listen to what Pouncey said yesterday Cali Steel is right.

easy fixes

 

so if they are EZ fixes why arnt we fixing them? why did the OL look worse in the second PS game than the first? or is it their intention of waiting until the reg season to fix the EZ fixes.. if they are so EZ why didnt they fix them last year.. pouncey is getting worse instead of better... Then he wil play pretty well and then be out for the season abouht game 12 or 13 with a ankle injury....

HINES

 

yep one thing you dont want to do around here is tell the truth if it hurts.. and it hurt a lot last year and this season.. gonna be a long season scoring 13 points a game

HINES

 

So when they turn things around in the regular season make sure to remember to stay just as negative as you are now

 

of course they are sandbagging

it's called
STRATEEGERIES


maybe the reporter should have asked Pouncey why "it seemed " they played worse.

 

Hines 4 ypc is not four yards every carry and four carries is nowhere near enough to make any kind of judgement on.

 

I agree. Bell should not even be a part of this conversation. We have no idea what he can do and wont for six weeks.
