The other part of the running game woes are MM. He don’t like to run up the middle inside the 5. But before we get to the 20 he will run Pollard up the middle. He is not a starter and not a 20+ carry RB, Notice when we rest Pollard and use Dowdle for a few series our run game gets better and Pollard will break a few runs. We need a hammer and Dowdle can do it but you need to have to use him early. Luepke is a 240 pound RB but gets no carry’s. He has 3 all season. And one of them is a TD from the 4 yard line. I saw him in the game last night but used as a blocker.
This crap will cost us in the playoffs or against better teams. It cost us egirls game. Look at end of game. We were on the 2 and got a penalty. Them give up a sack.
Too late in the season to replace the O-Line coach and the blocking system. We had issues one year with JG when he let our real good O-Line coach go and hired his buddy that got fired from bengals. He changed the system and we stunk. The bye week JJ fired him and brought Colombo in and he changed back to the aggressive system our players were used to. Our run game improved.
Problem is these players don’t know the aggressive style we used a few years ago.
Dak is using the “here we go” thing to help let the O-Line know the snap. Something is not working. Needs to be fixed.
