Uptempo they should probably try more. But do you notice how we often get up to the line with like 12 seconds left and then don't snap it until the last second? Why do you suppose that might be?John63":24ry85ld said:OrangeGravy":24ry85ld said:They're effective for what we want to do in the run game, but the margin is slim. Britt goes down, they're still pretty effective running and holding up in pass pro (when Hunt doesn't get steam rolled). Once we sustained a couple more injuries, the running game was sporadic at best. The entire play book and what you can successfully call, run or pass at that point is extremely restricted. It's no different than a pass first team like KC losing to many guys up front and not being able to protect. Teams like that pass to open up the run as a secondary option. If they can't protect, everything else is a struggle from the first snap.austinslater25":24ry85ld said:Nothing to disagree with. I would argue they're not all that great at run blocking either as Carson Lead the league in broken tackles. But regardless you're overall point is right. Good post.
It's why I don't care for the "just go to the short passing game" narrative. There are way too many moving parts for things to be that simple. None of us know enough about the playbook or any specific game day gameplan to even make an educated guess on what adjustments should be made. There's one thing you can't adjust for and that's depleted personnel. Late in the season, you got what you got and anyone you can pick up of the street isn't gonna be an upgrade. If you get to the point we were with the O-line, it's all duct tape and paper clips the rest of the way.
We know when we go uptempo/change tempo. Quick passing we move and score at will.
Either way, I'm just so pumped we have our Anthony! back.
You do realize that you saying we did means nothing, as usual you provide NO proof of your statements that I and others have shown time and time again are false. But please keep making stuff up it appears everyone is catching on to your falshoods.
