Why bother? You still wouldnt understand or believe it. Instead of breaking down the X and O's of their predictable running game, how about just watching a game to see how ineffective it is. If the players fail to execute time after time after time, maybe the coach should change whats going on instead of just hoping for a better result doing the same thing over and over again.
The Hawks are averaging 4.2 yards a carry that's good enough to be effective. the problem is Carson and penny are hurt and they don't have that physical back that can pound it in there to get the 3rd and short as evident in the WFT game. Look at the stats over the last few years it's not like the Hawks run game hasn't been there. (stat guys you're on) if it was scheme the numbers would reflect that and they don't.
So then it must be bad drafting, Right?.
Did the Hawks address Carsons injury problem yes, they did.
They drafted Penny because Carson can't stay healthy. Penny had a major knee injury.
Penny's numbers were good till the knee injury. Was it Penny's fault he had a bad knee injury? NO.
Is it Penny's fault that he was not the same back coming off of major knee surgery? NO.
Penny is not a physical back. He has never been effective running between the tackles. He is better when he is in open space around the edge.
Is it the Hawks fault Penny hurt his Knee? NO
Did Penny have Injury problems in College NO
So you see this as a bad draft pick judging after the fact. I see this as bad luck.
