462 yards of offense - Page 2

B_Ambuehl · 10-22-2005, 09:17 AM

I'm sure there are still some calling for the head of Al Saunders but 462 yards of offense is a lot. Especially considering when you have run blocking specialists and journeyman free agents out there getting over ~150 yards combined in the passing game. (Dunn, Horn, Boerigter). That's what good coaches and good systems allow you to do and there aren't many other coaches or systems who can get that type of production from that level of talent. (Get million dollar results out of hundred dollar players).

DV said last year after a 500 yard offensive performance that it was the first time he'd had a team over 500. Last night's performance didn't come far from that. Someone oughta check to find out where that performance ranks for the year among all teams.

I've seen our offense produce more TDs from less yards. Lots of yards is great, but I'd prefer more TDs.

Everybody bitches about the passing, but then everyone agrees that passing game opens up the running game and vice versa.

If we ran the ball as much as you geniuses seem to think we should, and we always did it in the obvious situations, then you'd all be bitching about the return of Martyball. AKA the vanilla predicatble offense that everybody and their mom knows how to beat. Sometimes from the outside things can look a little cute, but it works it produces results, and nearly 500 yards of offense is god damned results I don't care who you are.

Jesus christ. Shut up you're embarassing yourselves.

I'm just glad TG had more than 1 catch for 2 yards. And the running back rotation worked perfectly.

462 yards AND 30 points against a pretty damn good defense. I'll take that any day.

You know, I don't have a problem with the empty backfield stuff. We've played so conservative and uptight because of the OL problems most of the year, there have been a couple games where we didn't even try to spread it out and take shots downfield, we need to get back to that, at least make it a threat for people to think about. That makes the running game more effective.

My bitch is WHEN they decide to run/pass.

You don't empty the ****ing backfield on 1st down in a game you've got a big lead. There's no ****ing reason to do it and no ****ing reason to risk a sack/fumble/int at that point.

The last two weeks we've had a lead at the end of the game only needing to run out the clock. What do we do?

We pass.

It boggles the ****ing mind...

Can really disagree with this...especially when you have a big lead...

I'm actually very excited because the Tight End screen gained more than 3 yards last night. That can only lead to great things for this offense!!!

Why are people bitching abouit this again, exactly?

Because we didnt win 65-3.

Back off Saunders people....hes far from perfect but would you prefer Hackett and Jimmy Raye???
