Wanna know when it’s a run play/hand off? He doesn’t put in his mouth guard. When it’s a passing play he puts in the mouth guard.
If I’m picking up on this, then sure as hell other defenses and coordinators are as well. Seems to me it’s the “unknown” signal like this that defenses and coordinators are picking up on and stopping or stuffing our run game as if they know what’s going to happen like it already happened all they gotta do is watch the mouth guard.. Then I checked other games as well.. Russell is consistent with this pattern.

Wow, that's insane. You'd think he or the coaches would be aware of this, but you should seriously find some way to make sure he knows. Tweet at him, or his agent, or something.
Creed is but I guess Eskridge is a more attractive player?Spin Doctor":3u7xqrew said:You also have to realize that sometimes the running game takes time to get going. Runners usually need time to get into a rhythm, especially guys like Collins. Our scheming on the run game is also trash. It's extremely basic and it tips off where we're going to go. I had hoped that Waldron would bring some of the Rams running concepts, but it's been more of the same.
Between poor scheming and sporadic running, we're not doing our line or RB any favors. It should be mentioned too that Lewis was out and Procic is not a very good run blocker.
Christine Michael did this one season. It was brought up in this forum and Pete made a comment about it in a presser (if I remember right). I’d really like to think it’s been brought up to Russ if this is an ongoing thing. If it hasn’t then our coaches are morons. If it has and Russ is still doing it then our coaches are still morons and Russ is too.JPatera76":1320k4uw said:Watched a replay of last nights game. I watched Russell specifically.
