Around the NFL Week 5

Running the ball and winning goes hand in hand. It will always be a formula that wins.

its foolish to think otherwise...especially when you are playing high octane offenses. Plus the biggest thing is when you posses the ball running it, it gives your defense a breather...its the most overlooked portion of the impact.

Green Bay running the ball...suddenly winning. Indy beat KC running the ball. San Fran, pedestrian passing attack...but winning. Redskins last year...pedestrian passing...6-2 start. New Orleans has moved to a more running team. Dallas dominates when it runs. Patrioits have always run the ball well.

With our questionable QB play, why aren't we moving to a run based offense?

If I was to formulate a reason on why we can't run the ball I would start with the o-line. Also, our run game has never messed with the passing game. Hopefully, that changes.

I understand Bill is an offensive line coach and says he wants to run the ball, but as a head coach in Oakland and at Nebraska, he ran a west coast offense. At Nebraska, I watched him line up with 1st and goal at the two and throw three straight fade routes. On fourth down, he threw a pass to the flat that was returned for a touchdown. He never utilized the run game that Nebraska was always known for. That is why he got walked.

I think its easier to run the ball when you have a really good passing attack or an O line. We have neither.

Colts invested 3 1st Round picks for their LT-LG-C and a 2nd on their RT. LG was a 4th R from Seattle.

Cowboys also invested a lot. No need to list them.

49ers have 3 1st Rounders and a 2nd on their O line. Plus I think Shanny passing reputation keeps D Coord honest even if they arent putting up a lot of passing yards.

We have Trent, Scherff and Ereck Flowers as our 1st rounders. Moses as our 2nd Rounder. We have no passing attack threat. Bergstrom and co are getting beat 1-on-1 without putting up much if any resistance.

Run the ball, take select deep shots when given, control the clock and win it on a last second field goal. Old school 80s-90s football.
