I don't necessarily agree with people saying run the ball more. All they have to do is keep throwing the short passes which are just like runs and they set up big plays. Run the ball as well but its nothing you have to focus on with this personnel.

The problem is the damn defense just like last year. Get rid of Gary Gibbs because we are wasting an all-pro quarterback whom I wouldn't replace with any other quarterback in the NFL.

No one has been successful at this since the Reggie dump off is not available. The TE's cant do it, Colston is clearly out of form, as is Patten.

That play is just not really in the playbook outside of Bush.

yup we need reggie for the short passing game.. no one else fills that void.. deuce is not the same receiving threat he may once have been. he looks very awkward.

This is exactly why need to run the ball with Deuce, so we can keep that defense off of the field.

No, if you pass and thats all you do the D can defend it too easy. Even the short passing game if we refuse to run, even a little. I mean, we had 17 rushes for 105 yards!! That's an amazing YPC and we didn't even run in the 2nd quarter when we were only down by 11 points. Thats not that hard to overcome if you use the f-ing offense correctly i.e. run game!!!!
