Well it's sort of what I'm wondering with Thomas. Remember after the Jags game Gibbs said that Thomas told him his hamstring hurt too much so don't run any pulling plays. Is that still the issue?

"Every week you turn in your five favorite runs. It's not a secret what I like. The whole world knows what I like," Portis said. "I like to have my shoulders squared running downhill. When I'm running sideways, I'm getting blasted, twisted up, taking shots. I adjusted my style to fit the game plan."

that is all.

Portis is crying out to be fed the ball and get back to the power plays! Just like we've been saying all this week, we need to run the damn ball and run it with power! Listen to the man, Al.

You are correct! RUN, RUN, Run the ball, Run Portis, Run Betts, Run the Rock, Run Dancer, Prancer, Donner and Blitzen. Control the clock. Take oppurtunity away from them. Keep there damn offense on the bench.

yeah it sounds good in theory. Keep the Colts O off the Feild. Control the clock, yeah all that. Please keep in mind that our secondary couldn't cover a table with a table cloth! It won't take Peyton & Marvin or Reggie long to hook up for the big one! HAIL From MCUSA!

I went back and looked at the play by play in the 2nd half. I can honestly say they tried to get something going running the ball. However when you run the ball on 1st down and get 1 or 2 yards all the time you put yourself in a bad spot. So I think they were ineffective running the ball in the second half. Are we supposed to run the ball 3rd and long? Brunell didn't help by not extending any drives. Al is a smart guy but I think alot of this is second guessing. As a whole everyone is just p'd.

CP has had some successes on 3rd and long draw plays, where the defense is way off the ball (Rogers-like) and spread out expecting the pass...

of course this only works if they believe Brunell is willing to throw the ball anywhere on the field and not his usual spots. so much of an offense is hinged on the QB representing an actual threat the few times we need him to throw. unfortunately that's clearly not the case here.

just read this and think about Al Saunders:
