Observation on Campbell

How doesn't that make any sense? Teams figured out that our offense revolved around Portis so they stacked the line to stop the run and forced us to pass. So if they are selling out to stop the run, we gotta pass. Guess what we can't do????

I tend to think that, unless you have an elite passer, the inability to run the ball pretty much destroys any possibility of passing the ball. But, it sounds like you graduated from the Andy Reid "you pass to set up the run" school of football.

I think it's funny how people say the run has to set up the pass, especially when NE showed last yr the pass can set up the run. I truely believe it depends on what the strength of the team is. If you are good at passing then pass will set up the run. If you are good at running then run will set up the pass. Teams have to figure out how to stop what your doing. When they stop one aspect of your game then it's time to utilize the other. Our problem was we were a strong run team which meant we had to set up the pass but we had no passing game. During games when teams moved everyone within 10 yrds of the line of scrimage was when we needed to pass and couldn't. Everyone figured it out by week 7.

Exactly, different teams have different strengths. We are run first, whereas someone like Arizona is pass first.
