It sounds like what goes around comes around. Whne it was Martyball everyone cried about being too conservative on O. Then OBC blew into town and everyone complained that the O was too wide open & free-wheelin'. Sounds like we are back to the Martyball complaints again.

The biggest problem with this team is that they are not that good. They have looked awesome on paper for about the last 3 seasons but when they hit the field they stink. What I think happened is that Snider/Gibbs way underestimated how bad these guys really are. Gibbs appeared to be the missing puzzle piece but as it turns out there are a lot of mismatched pieces in the puzzle box.

I feel we have not run enough! Quick traps, faster developing running plays, quick screens, all would help get Portis free.

I'm Old School! The Run still sets up the pass! Mix the faster developing runs in with a decent passing game, and we turn it around!

I have alway's felt it was easier to open up the run with the pass, regardless, you need one to do the other, and we are doing neither.
