Sunra To Gibbs: Turn Jason Campbell Loose!

[Bdilla]

he threw 37 times against the Pack and look how that turned out for us...

I do believe if we don't get our running game going hard early that this game will be a domination. Establish the run then release Jason with the play action in the second half if needed. We are a running team. That's the only way we have a chance.

Campbell looked pretty good in that game, the WRs couldnt hold on to the damn ball!

As someone just noted, the drops are what hurt us that game, not the play calls.

I see it the other way around - pass to set up the run. This o line cannot block well in the run game.

I agree.. If we had all our O-line starters today, then I wld say run first but since we are patching up our O-line, so air first..

Freddg12 is right on! Pass to set up the run. If two O-Line starters go down on any NFL team, they would give up their helmets for a 4-2 record at this point in the season. That doesn't mean Al Saunders gives up on the run at any time during the game, however.

We've got no running game, and the sooner we all accept that, the better off we'll be. We're 24th in the leauge per attempt, which is no fluke. Without Jansen and Thomas to run behind, Betts and Portis become average RB's at best. How often do you see either them beat the opposing LB's on the outside? Sure, Portis could do that with ease 4 years ago, but to say he's lost a step would be putting it nicely. At this point, our best bet is to split running time between Portis and Sellers just enough to keep the passing game from getting too predictable. Gibbs' philosophy is run first, but this line ain't the Hogs, and Portis is no Riggo. We have to pass.

What an eye-opening argument. We passed for 217 yds against the Pack and ran for 94 yd, averaging around 3 yds a carry as opposed to almost twice that per pass. Quite obviously, we're a running team and should stick to that.
