Woe be us.
Fact is this team is running effectively this year versus last year. Result of that? We have abandoned the run????? We are not controlling clock and not wearing teams out. We are averaging 7.3 points in the second half of games and at least 3 of those TD's were garbage time.
Exhibit A)
Rushing Average 2004 4.2 YPC 2003 3.9 YPC
Exhibit B)
Rushing TD's 2004 ranked #15 2003 ranked #22
Exhibit c)
20+ rushing plays 2004 (4) #12 2003 (6) #25
EXHIBIT D)
Rushing attempts per game 2004 #31 at 22.8 per game
2003 #4 at 32.2 per game
That tells me we run more efficient, have far more big plays and TD's. But we are carrying it from 4th most in league to second last in league?
Time of Posession - We went from #4 in league to now a shaky #24 in the league.
Why? Because now Parcells "trusts" his QB? We have a better line and running the ball better yet we are now losing TOP battle. Lasts years Offense shortened the game and kept our small LB's and D off field. We are not scoring any more points 04 versus 03. But we are teeing up offenses to expose us moreso.
Gut it out and freakin start giving Eddie/Lee the ball 35 times and "maybe" put a young QB in there with a short leash! Facts are showing that short leash was 5-1 last year versus Vt (2-4) who can cover all the field. :confused: Just show me victories.
