What for you defines getting the bback going? Our offense is designed to take what the defense gives you. If they're determined to take the dive and we exploit the edge, how can you be upset the Bback isn't going nuts?
So why are we still giving the ball to the Bback then? I haven't seen any 9 in the box cover zero either. Our OLine isn't exactly blowing the defense off the ball vs the 3 weakest DLines we will face. As the season goes on we will see better edge players and LBers, and then what? Not saying we can't get the Bback going, just saying we haven't thus far and that is concerning.
Channeling Kam Chancellor?
I don't get it either....If we get 4-5yds a play on the dive....CPJ will take that all day......we don't need the +25 yd plays up the middle if we are taking 4-5 each time.
Because it's been open on occasion. That's the beauty of our offense, the qb reads the situation after the snap and decides which option is best.
Beauty? Thats debateable, but we won't go there. We've gone for 70-80 yards worth per game with the Bback against inferior lines. The best OLine since CPJ has been here, needs to improve quickly or we will struggle badly in conference play.
Why does the Bback yards matter if we getting great yards in other ways? I just don't get your logic. Defensive coodinators will begin to focus more resouces on stopping JT and the pitch. It's bound to happen since we are gashing defenses on the edge. When that happens the lanes will open up inside.
Typically I don't care either, but we opened up with our cupcake games this year. Had it been better teams we played, I wouldn't be concerned. No excuse not to dominate those 3 teams up front.
All three of these games were super bowls for the opponent. Let's not call GS a cupcake just yet. Let the season play out.
Nope if you don't stop the dive, we will just wear down the defenses for long drives and our defense will be fully rested. If they make us beat them on the outside, then it's boom or bust plus the potential for turnovers.
