This article talks about how we give up on the running game too soon. I pretty much agree with everything in it.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, it's because Garrett has no idea how to manage a game and has no feel for game flow . No gameplan. No adjustments. No attempt to put people in position to utilize their strengths. It's just straight up here's the playbook, everybody go beat your guy. Good luck.

There's a backup. No excuse for abandoning the running game.

When does Garrett ever pull a starter unless they want to be pulled? They abandon the run..usually when they're way behind. It's what they do. It's what Garrett's always done. That isn't changing until we have a new coaching staff and Jerry lets the coaches actually coach.

I'm not making excuses for abandoning the run game. I'm explaining. Garrett seems allergic to adjustments and pulling players and inserting players unless they want to come out.

I disagree with the part about Garrett not abandoning the run unless way behind...we've seen it happen in close games way too many times. Rest I agree with though.

I meant this season... a couple of times the run has been abandoned to play catchup..but otherwise, yeah, he inexplicably abandons it all the time.

Whoever wrote this sounds like he only saw the stat page. Sure Elliot had 61 yards in the first half...........on 15 carries! Thats only 4 yards per carry and we only scored 2 FGs. Why would you come out in the second half and do the same thing? It wasn't working. He also ignores the fact that Dak and the wrs have been bigger weapons this year than Zeke..........who requires massive holes to run through in order to do damage. Most every other loss, we've been down multiple TDs in the 3rd quarter which is hardly the time to start grinding away on the ground.

I will say it again it’s the OC , just like last 2 years they are calling the plays . Stop blaming Garrett

Boy!! Some of you I swear, you talk like you have no understanding. Kellen Moore is a product of linehan, they are pass happy and they always abandon the run too soon

Eh, no. What didn't change from last season to now? Garrett. It was his offense last season as much as it is now, and nothing really changed other than a different QB coach teaching Dak a different skill set. Blame Moore and last years scapegoat all you want, but the ultimate responsibility falls at the feet of the clapping moron.

Blame will always go to Garrett. He controls the OC. If he can't help put a game plan together on both sides of the ball... offense and defense, he doesn't deserve to be the HC.

Go ask Belichick if he has no input or control over his offense and defense lol.

Until those over paid fat boys up front start earning their pay checks. Zeke or Dak isn't gonna look good. Mark Columbo as a Oline coach is laughable. Biggest reason we play horrible is because we have guys coaching that in no way should be. From Garrett on down.

They suck on both sides of the ball...

Oh yeah, definitely. But one 3 and out from the offense is detrimental to the team. We cannot give up a single drive, or we will lose. Offense is the best out of our 3 phases, which says a lot because our offense sucks.
