A more completed picture would include Marshawn Lynch, & the reason Defenses couldn't just key on Wilson.rjdriver":3hqlz5u3 said:Keyhawk":3hqlz5u3 said:In the early days of Russ, I enjoyed watching our third-down plays. Now I almost expect that we're not going to convert. It's just so frustrating.
Sigh..
Yeah, those 2012-2013 years of Russ just killing it with the read option, 10 yard routes to Doug and scrambling for 20 yard gains frequently on 3rd down seem to be a distant memory. That's also before DB's had his pirouette down and were playing him to step up instead of turn out. Dang, we were a juggernaut. I love watching old games, like the Chicago game or when we dismantled the Bills in Toronoto, but it's a litte depressing now TBH. Man we had a good team back then.
Without even a mediocre Running attack, it ALL dumps back onto Wilsons' lap, & calls for some changes in Offensive schemes, Defenses are playing his tendencies to hang onto the ball too long, he needs to get the ball out quicker.
