you have to run regardless if the team knows what you are doing are not....Ask the Raiders....we have to impose our will with the running game, win the line of scrimmage and we are even deadlier

You can not set up the run with the pass it does not work..

First of all, I would like to see us stick with a RB for an entire series or two. Let a guy get some rhythm. I hate that we just rotate guys in and out...I don't think the RB position works like that.

Second, I would like to see us vary the running plays: counters, sweeps, dives, up the middle, off tackle, draws. It seems like our running offense is incredibly basic as opposed to our passing game that is incredibly complex.

We need to stick with it. We also need to play better in the first half.

Sorry man I have to disagree. You're telling me if we consistently get yards with the short passes that the defense won't start playing more to defend the pass? Then when they start to have their linebackers back off to defend the pass, we hit them with the run. It works both ways in my opinion. It just seemed like Tampa always knew when we were going to run and we just did it anyway, resulting in a good amount of no gains or losses. If a team is playing to stop the run, call a pass play and Drew will eat them alive, especially on short passes, he will put them on the money.
