Run. The. Bucking. Fall.

[nanomoz]

This 2-1 pass to run ratio isn't it. They're wasting another superb D performance in the name of trying to be clever.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

They can't and they know it. And the rest of the league does too.

 

[CalgaryFan05]

They can't and they know it. And the rest of the league does too.

Sure do.

BS. 6 carries for 43 yards.

Lopsided from one big outlier run.

 

[nanomoz]

Lopsided from one big outlier run.

That is how the run game works. 2 here, 3 there, none here, then you bust one.

 

[Followthelegion]

Lopsided from one big outlier run.

This is the issue. We can’t run the ball consistently; there are too many defenders in the backfield regularly.

 

[hox]

If they can’t run against a weak run D and light boxes it’s game for this offense

 

[hawker84]

They can't and they know it. And the rest of the league does too.

The stats today would disagree woth thus statement.

So we're passing to set up the run?

 

[nwHawk]

The past 3 games for Atlanta they’ve gained form. This isn’t a bad defense. KK just has to stay committed to the run.

The stats for a number of recent weeks do.

 

[hawker84]

The stats for a number of recent weeks do.

What does that have to do with today?

 

[nanomoz]

What does that have to do with today?

Um, that the Hawks rush offense has consistently improved, and the narrative that they can't run is BS?

 

[nanomoz]

Fine. Throw out Charbs's big run. Walker is still at 3 ypc. Those are mostly wins.

This Falcons D will wear down. They're not at all stout.

Um ya, that's what I was saying.

3 YPC is failure.

Nanomoz, I KNOW you are not that ignorant. What are you trying to really say here?

 

[nanomoz]

Nanomoz, I KNOW you are not that ignorant. What are you trying to really say here?

No it isn't. Not with this d and special teams. Not in the first half. Not when your QB likes to donate the ball to the defense. Not when you rely on play action

You're being myopic. When they stay committed to running the ball, they win. Full stop.

 

[HawkinNY]

Wonder if we had Kirk if this team would be better. Sam is only good for 10ish games. Then goes downhill. This is 2 years in a row. Should we waste another year of him playing bad when it matters?

 

[Trackhawk]

As important as it is to get the running game in gear, and as much as MM talked up getting it on track in this half, getting Darnold’s confidence back is far more important. I’m loving this game plan.
