[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 186185, member: 265"] I see what you mean, but I think we have some constraints on the plays you mentioned. The main one is that there are only two people with good speed left in our backfield: JT and Marshall. A rocket toss, for instance, will work with ABs who can get to the corner really quickly. But, let's face it, Lynch, MLD, Ike, and co. simply don't have that. Much better to run the TO and get them in a situation where they can strength their way to a first. Also, with the exception of Ike, most of the ABs and WRs are just seeing the light come on about edge blocking. Sooooo … slower to the edge, uncertain about pitch relationships, poor edge blocking = fewer rocket tosses. As for the speed option, that's a double option, like the midline, and we've never run it more then once or twice a game, even when Dwyer was here. Marshall has the speed to run it, but that isn't a BBs main job. Their job is the dive and getting yards off of that to draw the other side in. Marshall is a bit undersized for that - hence the 10 carries - but he's learning. Now if he'll only learn to block … Btw, I think we passed on that "drive" in the 3rd Q because Pitt was giving us single coverage all over the field. Problem = we didn't pass block well enough to give JT the time to exploit that. Why is a mystery to me; we did ok on pass blocking in the first half. [/QUOTE]
