Re: Run the damn football!
 

[quote=Alvin#40;230260]Although i believe we needed much more Portis as well, I saw at LEAST 3 occasions where Moss had got by EVERYONE in the Tenn secondary only to be over or underthrown! I wouldn't be too quick to blame the offensive approach or philosophy. We have execution issues and it starts with the QB.[/quote]
I don't know if it's Brunell or the receivers routes... but as of late I'm def. seeing some timing issues.

"Every week you turn in your five favorite runs. It's not a secret what I like. The whole world knows what I like," Portis said. "I like to have my shoulders squared running downhill. When I'm running sideways, I'm getting blasted, twisted up, taking shots. I adjusted my style to fit the game plan."

that is all.

Portis is crying out to be fed the ball and get back to the power plays! Just like we've been saying all this week, we need to run the damn ball and run it with power! Listen to the man, Al.

[quote=Schneed10;230255]I do agree with the need to pound the Colts. But to say they're ripe for the picking is a gross overstatement. If they're ripe for the picking on the ground, then we're WAAAY ripe for the picking through the air.

What do you think Peyton is going to do to our secondary in his house with no crowd noise? [shudder][/quote]

They're 5-0 but a very shaky 5-0. The same Titans that took us down took them to the brink. I call that ripe for the picking. If we can go in there and control the ball and clock and keep our pathetic D off the field as much as possible, we have a chance.

Re: Run the damn football!
 

You are correct! RUN, RUN, Run the ball, Run Portis, Run Betts, Run the Rock, Run Dancer, Prancer, Donner and Blitzen. Control the clock. Take oppurtunity away from them. Keep there damn offense on the bench.

Re: Run the damn football!
 

[quote=jdlea;229337]I kind of agree with you. However, let's say they can run the football on the Colts. I assume they can. The big problem is gonna be that they can't cover Harrison and Wayne OR stop Rhodes and Addai. So, then you have to go to the pass at some point. Where are they then?[/quote]

If we can establish the run and grind out the clock, it will keep Manning and company off the field most of the game.

Re: Run the damn football!
 

yeah it sounds good in theory. Keep the Colts O off the Feild. Control the clock, yeah all that. Please keep in mind that our secondary couldn't cover a table with a table cloth! It won't take Peyton & Marvin or Reggie long to hook up for the big one! HAIL From MCUSA!

Re: Run the damn football!
 

I went back and looked at the play by play in the 2nd half. I can honestly say they tried to get something going running the ball. However when you run the ball on 1st down and get 1 or 2 yards all the time you put yourself in a bad spot. So I think they were ineffective running the ball in the second half. Are we supposed to run the ball 3rd and long? Brunell didn't help by not extending any drives. Al is a smart guy but I think alot of this is second guessing. As a whole everyone is just p'd.

CP has had some successes on 3rd and long draw plays, where the defense is way off the ball (Rogers-like) and spread out expecting the pass...

of course this only works if they believe Brunell is willing to throw the ball anywhere on the field and not his usual spots. so much of an offense is hinged on the QB representing an actual threat the few times we need him to throw. unfortunately that's clearly not the case here.

I apologize. I just got home from work and my kid brother showed me the thread he posted using my name and the reply to Matty. He thought it was real cute. I very seldom start threads I just like to read them. Again I apologize. I wish you could see what I did to him. I'll be sure to log off next time I'm away from my computer.

in a game like that... if we can't stop the pass, and they cant stop the run... we win.

we control the clock. We control the timing of the game. Not EVERY pass will be complete, so they won't always be moving forward. If we CAN move forward on every play we will dominate, but we cannot abandon the run game because they jump out on top quickly and we go 3-out on our first posession.
