So please stop going away from the run. Michael is not a good running back, but our line can get him yards. It's the reason we drafted them. They are low draft choices because they are one-dimensional, so lets use that dimension even if our running back is terrible. He runs sideways, towards the sideline to avoid contact, rolls into the turf because its fun. However on the next play it gives the line confidence that maybe, just maybe they can give Russ an extra second or two to make a play on the next down. That's important. When they push guys around, even if Michael dove into the turf, at least they get a little attitude and can have some more confidence that these guys aren't stronger than they are. I think there is a lack of trust in our o-line by our coaches, which breeds a lack of confidence. I see some great push and there are holes made by our line when we run, and if we give them a little pride in that I think they will play better. :irishdrinkers:
