It's hard to run the ball when your offensive line is getting blown off the line of scrimmage.
It's even harder to run and block defensemen when you bring the same tired predictable gameplan every week.

We pay Turner way to much to be a back up RB, Turner backing up anyone will not happen. He's our starter for as long as he has that huge contract.

That's just the business side of it. Why do you think the Raiders stuck with Russell for so long before they cut him? If he wasn't the first overall getting paid so much he would of been gone after his first season...or first game for that matter.

It kills me that all the blame gets put on Turner.
Do some of you really not see how easy it is for team to defense our predictable offensive playcalling and gameplans?
How is Turner suppose to run the rock when he getting engulfed before he reaches the line of scrimmage.
Philly owned the LOS on both the offense and defensive side of the ball.

steven jackson still gets off in st louis when he plays on the worst team in the league. STOP WITH THE EXCUSES.

It is a shame really but there is no play that can make the O line block better for him.

if Turner is not having a great game we really dont stand a chance...Our offense and our team wins when he is producing..Its really simple..We need to find other run designs to get him into the mix early ..
Matt Ryan has proved he really cant carry a team on his back like some of the other premier QBS ..
also we need a speed /change of pace back

8/9 in the box will slow down your running game, but we run it anyway (unless in no huddle when Matt's calling the plays).

That's the sickening part, we see 8 or 9 in the box, and still run. Change the call, send a guy deep, get someone to run a slant and get the ball in a playmaker's hands quickly.
I hate our offense. The whole 'take what the defense gives us' is pathetic. We have the players, we should be enforcing our will, not reacting to what they give.
