D'Pablo Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 -run more tosses and sweeps -run more plays with split backs -run screens to our HBs/H-Backs/TEs/FBs -send runners on deep to intermediate passing routes -use fewer pulling guards and more H-Backs/TEs/FBs as lead blockers (quicker) -pass more on first down -fake more bootlegs (Denver-style rollouts) -call audibles to the opposite side from where we are pulling -use Betts early and Portis later Can't think of any others.

D'Pablo Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 BTW, has anyone noticed the Denver-style stretch plays? I saw one where Portis ran from the shotgun, but it wasn't particularly successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It seems like every game I get the feeling we're not running the ball well, but at the end of the game we seemed to have rushed for about 150 yards which is considered good. We're ranked 6th in rushing so I'm not sure what the problem is. Seems like were great between the 20's but once inside the redzone, we're just not getting it done.

JeSTeR Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Portis and Betts combined for 125 yards. Brunell added another 16. I'm not sure what you want out of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? I really liked that split back play we had ... How about more misdirection, counters, fake hand of to fullback and then the pitch out to the RB, we did that last year, great play!

D'Pablo Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 It's not how many yards we get... it's when and where we get them. Like we can't seem to score while rushing the ball in the redzone (this should be our safest option), but we never try the Priest Holmes sweep play. Btw, we do enough counters.

Brown 43 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I may be wrong, but I think we're running pretty darn good? With the exception of the dallas game???? I hope we run like we did against Seattle for the rest of the year, we will go far in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
