Besides if 400 yards passing and almost losing while inside the 5 is holding back. Maybe its best that we don't unload, might throw off the equilibrium of the earth.

They play calling and rhythm we went with was most definitely vanilla. Didn't attempt to cause them any disruption through our game management or our play calls. They were being quite aggressive with their front. You telling me at no time were any of those screens a viable option?

You can game plan and play call vanilla and still produce. In an instance like that its the players job to get it done. This was one of those games I expected the heat to be turned up and it wasn't. Breeze extends plays but he isn't a running QB. There was the opportunity to run the amoeba defense and it wasn't used. Both the O and D coordinator our playing to win out there make no mistake. But they aren't willing to throw out their best. I think this rings true more for Nolan than Koetter who has been pretty aggressive throughout. Even when they routes or play calls themselves are not.

What is going to hurt us. Is teams selling out in the pass even in play action. We need those runs to start getting yardage. Shit 4 yards a carry consistently would start to unsettle a defense rather than nothing nothin big chunk nothing nothing big chunk.

We have 4 backs on our roster. Lets starting using them all rather than just the one.
