Running the ball on 2nd down

[James in PA]

I love how the announcers repeatedly called out our tendency to do this. Gee, I wonder if opposing coaches have also noticed this??

No...I think other teams just get lucky...

That's it! Damn, if we just had a little more luck on our side, our 2nd down runs wouldn't constantly result in 1-2 yards and a cloud of dust!

We almost had them on their heels when we only lost 5 to 9 yards on second down runs.

Whoever cleared KW3 to play in this game should be sued for malpractice. Hopefully he didn't hurt himself further in a game he clearly should not have been active.

I muted that guy a few times, but he was probably right

I like Charbs but he has a Ryan Matthews kinda vibe to him.

Meanwhile McIntosh is still riding the bench with 0 reps in 3 weeks

If Giga-Chad Greg Olsen knows what you do on 2nd and medium, do you think the Niners might know as well?

It's not even 2nd and short, it is almost a guarantee on 2nd and 6+. I think they called one pass play on a 2nd and 10. Otherwise it was a run play called for a loss resulting in 3rd and 9+. It's honestly baffling how bad these well paid coaches are at their jobs.

Were we running the ball on 2nd down a lot?

 

[kidhawk]

The announcers are idiots. They were saying how we are a run first run often team. That’s been so not true this year. We had a backup qb in so we ran the ball a bit more to help him out. This has not been the identity of our team at all this year.

Assuming I'm not missing anything from the game log, the ball was run on second down six out of 15 times during this game. If you ignore the fourth quarter, the ball was run on second down six of 12 times this game.
