Run the damn ball!!!

[seabowl]

First off, you can’t run the ball seven times in a game and expect to win. It’s just that simple. Secondly, if your line is bad, run the damn ball already. You invested two second round picks in running backs who have proven to be very capable. Use them! That is all.

I approve this message.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we have a good enough interior of the offensive line to do so. I

There have been several occasions in the past couple of seasons that Walker has looked like the best player on the field when he is getting a healthy work load.

Walker got 5 carries today. 5.

That's absurd. Walker is a difference making player if you give him the ball.

You guys don't see the big picture. Mike is letting the defenses wear down over the first half of the season, and then BLAM

The biggest problem is that we should WANT to run the ball. Running the ball is easier (for the OL to block). If you have cheap OL, you offset by running the ball.

The problem is our OL struggles at run blocking. It is actually awful. DL pouring through the line bad. So we almost have to throw. Especially when our best players are part of our passing offense.

This team is 'almost' built to throw the ball (sans OL). Running the ball is feast or famine for us, but that is more Walker magic vs getting nailed behind the LOS.

I disagree with this. Kenneth Walker is averaging 5.5 yards per carry this year. Even Charbonnet is just under 4 yards per carry. The run blocking may not be stellar but running attack is effective. Run the ball to open up the pass game. Yes, it’s that simple!

Sadly, yesterday felt like the weak a** previous Pete teams that wouldn't adjust. O Line had NO chance of stopping the pass rush. But hey, let's just keep trying to throw the ball.

5 carries for Walker? Really? THAT'S your game plan??????? Unreal
