waste of money and talent if not used

is it illegal to run play action pass on first down? if not, someone please tell Mr Saunders. overall, our running game was money today

[SFREDSKIN]

I'm more worried about our DB's covering, they let the Jets convert 3rd downs time after time. I would give our Defense a C- grade today and that's being generous. We were lucky the Jets receivers dropped a lot of balls.

What else is a wide receiver going to say?

I agree 100% , if every player had what they want, we wouldn't win a single game, whatever is best for the team comes first.

If we keep putting up 200+ rushing yards per game the passing game WILL open up, period.

Any opposing team facing a rushing attack like that will have no choice but to 7 or 8 in the box to try to stop it and the passing attack will open up just fine.

The question is, CAN we put up 200+ per game?

Good post--that's the point of the run game, in many ways. The Jets are a pathetic run D, so we hit them where it hurt. But we need to effectively mix in the pass, run play action, etc. Doubt we'll be this dominant in the run game again this year.

As for Moss, we are not having this conversation if JC does not overthrow him. Instead, we are talking about good mixture, killer instinct, and all that jazz. We are not, because JC didn't hit it, not because Al didn't call it.

This game, IMO, was to ESTABLISH the run in the minds of our team and everyone else. THat should take the safeties out of deep shell coverage and open things up for JC. But the kid has to hit a few.
