KW/ZC rushing stats. wth

[renofox]

vs. Browns

KW 8/66, 8.3ypc
ZC 5/53, 10.6ypc
13 rush, 40 pass

Why are we at 3/1 passing/rush when Geno is stinking it up and the RBs are kicking ass.

I was thinking Waldron called an OK game and the execution sucked. After seeing this, WTF WAS HE THINKING?

 

[BChawkfan]

Been saying that all year.

It's misleading. Walker had a 45-yard run and averaged 3 YPC after that.

Charbonnet still averaged more YPC than KW

Sure. But that's five carries, and his best runs were draws. I don't think running the ball more would have been effective. If anything, I think savvy play-calling was what caught Cleveland off guard.

 

[keasley45]

Part of the reason the passing game is sub-par is because we are deliberately not running as much as we should. ZC needs more carries.

I'd personally like to see them swithch the load where Charbs gets the early down / game carries and Walker comes in to burn defenses when they're a bit winded.

 

[Flyingsquad23]

Hawks were 4-12 on 3rd down. If they start converting more they will both get more carries.

 

[fenderbender123]

I don't care who gets the carries, they are both good running backs, but yeah let's run the ball more.

 

[kidhawk]

We started the game running and passing to Lockett. It succeeded. Then we started passing more and more with very mixed results.

 

[nwHawk]

Dare I say it, forcing the ball to DK didn’t help.

 

[907 MILITIA]

Don’t forget we just played the best defense in the NFL right now and we won the game!!!

 

[FlyingGunHawk]

Dare I say it, forcing the ball to DK didn’t help.

I'm not sure what's going on with the playcalling. He was targeted like 13 times for 5 receptions. Hes still hurt and they keep trying to feed him.

 

[hoxrox]

Dare I say it, forcing the ball to DK didn’t help.

The chemistry is non existent with DK right now. A lot of that probably has to do with DK not practicing that much this season.

 

[SonicHawk]

Why Lockett gets ignored for long streaks is the hardest to understand. Geno was forcing it to DK and the run game wasn’t that impressive outside of KWs big run and some runs near at the end.

 

[nwHawk]

I feel like Geno is trying to hard to get DK locked in. Let the game come and don’t force things.

Lockett, Bobo, and JSN along with a stable of capable TEs. Really haven’t seen a team like this in a long time.

 

[LTH]

If they run more it's going to make play action easier to sell ,that going to give fewer but better chances for a big passing play to Metcalf or Lockett or for that matter Bobo and then throw in JSN.. that's why they like to throw the ball. This team , once they get in to rhythm, is going to be highly explosive, in fact I will say very close to the best passing game in the NFL. It's brewing watch what happens in the next 3 games.

When they start figuring out how to pass Walker, Charbonnet and Macintosh in open space things are going to get wild!

[Mistashoesta]

I like Walker, but I think this offense would be better off with Charbonnet as RB1.

 

[JPatera76]

I like Walker, but I think this offense would be better off with Charbonnet as RB1.

I feel like Charbs is beater back you want to wear down the defenses with, then Walker is the knife back who will slice them up when’re they’re tired.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep, it's maddening that they just abandon the run. Geno was solid in the first quarter and at the end. But.....asking him to throw it 37 times is just not smart football, imo.
Sure they won, and it was a great battle against a damn good team. But, pound the damn rock, you have the horses for it.

Everyone is contributing, 5-2, first place. This team is on the rise. Especially if they start running the damn ball more.
