What is wrong with our run game?

Zeke’s face looks redder then the Santa Clause at the local mall. I don’t know why that is.

I've concluded that in another thread.

Pollack took over in 2015, switched the oline to a power scheme for McFadden, and made him the #4 back in the league after not starting the first 6 games.

Then switched the oline back to zone to make Zeke the top back in the league in 2016.

Does that look like a guy who can't coach an oline? Can't coach *our* oline?

The 2017 oline problems were Tyron's bad back, and the Chaz Green Debacle. I don't think either were Pollack's choice, but he was the one who took the fall.

Garrett football. Callahan out. Pollack out. Eberflus out. Competence is shown the door to keep in place the incompetence above them.

Dak----- i thought that too until i realized its the new face guards they where...it has a rose tint...seen many other players faces red too lately and they all are wearing that face guard

Not worried about the run game, but the Defense I'm worried about...

SiCk---- me too....Daks big improvement throwing the ball will eventually help run game...but it's like our defense plays bewildered....must be maybe a confidence thing...saw a lot of miss tackles again from sure tacklers in the past
 
Predictability. For as much as Moore has done for our passing game, he just doesn't know how to run an effective running game.

Zeke is fat.

Roy is that what it is?....i hope that is what it is cause then he can lose weight...but he looks much slower and weaker.....this is why you dont pay running backs big bucks they wear down after a couple few years....its brutal playing running back in NFL....we need to play Pollard more....he is fast and elusive and young

our defense is making me very nervous...is there and easy fix...is it confidence or lack of...is it poor scheme....Marinelli has been totally figured out..if i was jerry jones i would be putting a lot of pressure on defensive coaches

pollack coached tyron smith, freddy and zack to be pro bowlers. he coached leary to be an outstanding guard. he moved Collins to tackle when doug free left and had him playing at a high level before season's end in 2017. whoever made the decision to release him for alexander was a total buffoon. I like columbo, but he's no pollack.

the weakness is the d-line. that responsibility is Marinelli's.

he typically hits the line slowly, waiting for the blocking to get established. but this year the blocking is breaking down and there's nowhere for him to go.

cern---i think that is exactly what it is...because Zeke could not have deteriorated that much in one year...its our O line not able to run block...dang it....this really ticks me off....like someone said last week on here...we seem to fix one thing and then another issue pops up....coaching is so so important...look at Patriots....consistenly top tier team every year for 20 years...Belichek and Brady of course
 
GORICO said:
like your attitude....but realistically we must figure out how to play much better defense cause we are being punched in the mouth...if we had last years defense and this years offense we would be 9-0 opr 8-1

Logic or being realistic has nothing to do with it. We are dem boys!

I think it's a problem with the coaching, tbh. The talent is there, clearly, between the OL and Zeke. But they're not blocking well, it seems

The coaches don't block. If the players aren't blocking well that's on them. If its the scheme it would be something else.

I'll just cut to the chase. I don't think Colombo is a good enough OL coach. We should have an OL coach that gives us an advantage through his scheme, like Callahan. But we hired a guy because he has a good story and our owner is loyal to a fault.

I don't have anything against Colombo. I just think that we could do better
