Well, we can't give the ball to Carson 32 times every game. That would be over 500 carries! :shock:Aros":2c5ao8wz said:I just loved the focus on running the ball. 32 carries, 100 yards...YES! More of that please!

But yeah, we should do 25-30 rush attempts/game, with Carson getting at least 20 of them. :mrgreen:

On the drive that really put the Hawks in control, that ended in the Carson TD, it seemed like he was consistently getting 4-5 yards at worst.

Also, TU on Carson :2thumbs: and TD on Penny for coughing up another one. No...not a bust :roll: , just not ready to be featured back yet IMO.
Kind of the essence of Pete Carroll football. He actually likes a balanced attack, but he wants to be able to run the ball even when the other team is expecting it, like Sunday in the 4th quarter when we had a decent lead and it was time to grind it out. Of course, in order to do that you have to have enough carries in Qtr 1-3 to tire the D out. Many teams these days can't do that. It's old school in many ways, but it can work and will win a lot of games.Spin Doctor":2si4uch0 said:I think we ran it a bit too much, but yes -- it is very important to establish a running game. If nothing else Carson can be a complementary piece to our offense that can put us in manageable third down distances and grind out third and shorts. I think many of these carries came from us just playing safe and trying to bleed the clock when we got a lead though. Before the third quarter it was 50/50.
Yep...with a more formidable offense on the other side, that could be a reason we LOSE a game instead of WIN a game.toffee":1teo3onv said:Running the ball is good, 32 carries is great, 3 yards per carry really is not good. Got to be more efficient running the ball.
