Re: Run the damn football!
Well all I know is our current offensive approach is not working. It's time to try something different and get back to basics. What do we have to lose?

We definately need to get back to the running game. I was just saying that our defense is so bad right now that it might be taken away from us by our opponents.

This is what happens when teams rebuild & retool every year. Nobody gets comfortable with whats going on because its always changing and the team never quite knows what players to draft (or in the skins case sign as FAs) because nobody knows what the system is going to be from one year to the next.

I agree. I wish we had stuck with what worked during our 6-game winning streak (including playoff game last year). Of course, that would mean never bringing in Saunders, but I'm very much OK with that.

Portis clearly is our best, most-inspired player. Others such as Brunell never show any intensity in the 4th quarter or any other time.

Its hard not to think that last years 6 game win streak was an aberation instead of the norm.

Yeah... JAX he showed zero intensity late in the game....
Remember Seattle reg season last year?

Brunell shows intensity, he just only shows it to one player. When the other team knows he's going to Moss.... that's when he throws his pick.

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.

I don't know if it's Brunell or the receivers routes... but as of late I'm def. seeing some timing issues.

Re: Run the damn football!
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.
