Yes we do. They just don't work. If you look at the statistics, we get far more yardage running up the gut than we do running to the left or right sides. It's all about execution.

Furthermore, the wholesale lack of spreading the field (which helps negate our receivers' inability to get open) is stupid coaching. If you spread the field and give Trent carte blanche for audibles, then you let Larry run into six or seven man fronts, and if they stack, you can use a quick hitter, or a pump and go.

We don't have the receivers or offensive line for that. Our RT is so terrible that if we don't keep extra blockers in, our QB gets killed. Trent got rocked on a *1 step drop* on Sunday. He couldn't even get the designed screen off. That's how bad it is.

Running the guy 440 times in one year might help you win 1 or 2 more games this year, but it's going to cost you 10 over the next 4.

I agree, to an extent. Bennett has been effective when he was in there. We gave up a 4th for him... might as well get some use out of him before he goes off injuring himself while racing offensive linemen again.
