goldenster95 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Why the hell are we not giving him the rock more? As of this writing, he's got 10 carries for 51 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenster95 Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 Sorry, but that isn't enough given his success early and the failure of the passing game. Why go away from that when it's working? We did and we stalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go away from that when it's working? We did and we stalled. passing game looks much improved today... Brunell is starting to get into a rhythym..... 11 carries for 56 yards is just fine by me... pass early, open up the field for Portis in the 2nd half.

Oldskool Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 You need to pass to not have Dallas have 8 men in the box. You'll see Portis run better in the 3rd quarter because of how we passed the ball at the end of the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 13 rushes at the half. On pace for 26. That's plenty of rushes. Like to see him involved in the passing game a bit, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Boy Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 The offensive line isnt doing the job for Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenster95 Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 My point on this is something akin to what we did when we had Tony Banks as QB and Stephen Davis back there. We had zero passing and only Davis. Despite opposing defenses putting in eight men in the box, we kept giving it to Stephen. I think that should've kept happening, at least on first down. We cannot get into first and long situations. Having said that, the passing game would've done better if some folks could catch the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenchild Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Portis is a much more effective runner with a little bit of space. Obviously shear power isn't his forte, but when he has a small space, he shoots through and uses his vision and cutback ability. I think the passing game opening up will REALLY open things up for Portis. With some lanes to run through and space to cut back, he can be amazing.
