Can Clinton Carry the Load?

[12thMan]

Let me say this while it's on my mind: We need to adopt a no matter what mentality. No matter what, we're running the damn ball. Again, the caveat being, if we fall behind early we have to adjust and tweak the gameplan.

Too often it seems, we have a reactionary game plan. If we're up, we slow down. If we're behind, we try to speed up. I'd like to see us impose our will on a team from start to finish. That's why I have no problem with New England "running up" the score. They have a style and a mindset they play with and they're not apologizing for it.

I think we were close to seeing that yesterday. People look at the final score, and say wait the Skins barely beat the Jets. You take away that kickoff and an untimely penalty and you have a different outcome. Same thing with the Cards game a couple weeks back.
