[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 748484, member: 789"] I think RB rotation is probably the one item P’nut has managed well. Gibbs is getting a good percentage of carries (1/3) and more importantly he’s mostly getting the type of carries he’s good at. Smith and Griffin are used effectively. Maybe you could argue Smith is not on the field enough as he might be our best overall back. I’m not even sure I’m finding fault with P’nut‘s playcalling all that much other than he‘s almost to where I can predict his pass plays nearly 100% of the time. If I can do it, opposing DC’s are probably having a field day. What I believe is happening is teams are playing bend but don’t break against us because our threat of scoring is low. You let us rack up the meaningless yds & wait for us to make a mistake. The odds are good. If it’s not Sims throwing an INT, it’s getting cute and calling a predictable pass or crapping ourselves with penalties. We seem to lose faith in our running game on the other half of the field. We should stick with the running except maybe more Smith & Griffin and less Gibbs. Use Gibbs when we have a long field with a lot of room to run. Last year when the QB had time we threw behind the opposing defenses leading to big gainers or TDs. Most of the time Graham was running for his life. We’ve got the time to pass now with much better blocking but seemingly do not have the long ball threat anymore. This lets the opposing secondaries play tighter coverage and it’s only going to get worse until we prove we can throw deep. I’d say P’nut gets paid the big bucks to figure this out but he doesn’t. Let’s hope the light bulb comes on. Even though it has not been at P5 level, he must have coached his way out of similar situations at some point in his career. [/QUOTE]
