It's shocking that several were screaming how awesome the RB by committee would be.
Yep and now that they have it they are still complaining.. It's almost like they just want something to complain about and what it is doesn't really even matter so long as they can complain. What a miserable way to go through life!
While I agree the whole starter thing is not a big deal.. I was just wondering if there was anything else going on. Especially when he didn't come out to start the second series either. McCarthy and Schottenheimer certainly have not shown themselves to be any better at scheming the run than Kellen Moore was with the possible exception of the "don't block the backside DE" play. They at least appear to have removed that thing from the playbook so our guys aren't consistently getting blown up in the backfield by unblocked people. Other than that I have not seen much improvement. With the size we acquired up front we need to play to power not subterfuge.
It's really just another football term that most on here don't understand. RB by committee is not desirable, it's what you do when you don't have anyone good enough to start/take the bulk of the carries.
I could almost buy this except they have him in there an awful lot for pass protection. Those hits hurt even more than being tackled. Usually because those you have to take square on as opposed to maybe being dragged down by an arm or a leg if you're running with the ball.
That's not true at all all NFL teams rotate their backs very few have power backs nowadays that can handle it on all three downs and can run 30 * a game that's done and gone it said about quarterbacks because you literally do not rotate quarterbacks but you do rotate other positions like the expensive line different tight ends different wide receivers and yes different running backs sure it's nice to have a workhorse and you know *** **** well we've had one of the best running backs in the league over the last 20 years they have drafted guys like Murray and zeke and Emmett Smith and they will again this is like 2015 where the team thought they could do more with less and so far it's not working and I say like Ronnie up there says they're not being utilized properly period end of story Tony and Rico were used backwards last year vaughn's not being used right at all right now if we have the right mix of running backs for the right situation of football you know the right back for the right play that is not what this looks like it looks like he decides before the game who starts the game and then who rotates in that's it not the place called or what the Downing distance is he's literally just bringing in guys because he marked it down on a sheet on at what point in each game will he substitute them in and out and then he sticks with it all game....
I see the same thing Mike McCarthy doesn't know how to rotate the backs in and out is it is it his game plans are who starts the game and at what point in the game does he substitute them and then he pulls them in and out without any thought I'm actually using the right guy for the right place it was like this last year Tony and Rico should have been flipped Vaughn and Turpin are not being used correctly in this offense in my opinion I'm sick of the little flare out to the outside literally put these guys in better positions to win just like Andy Reid does with his weapons seems weird that he can bring in all these guys that look similar that keeps his offense going no matter what their name is they all have that one role to do and he finds that guy every three to four years and they all seem to be successful they don't need to be pro ball players but they do what they're asked at a high level they make that play successful because he uses the right player for the right situation...
Why didn't he start?
Easy there big fellar! I don’t need a novel on a simple yet true comment.
The truth of the matter is he's right in that in the modern NFL most teams rotate their backs in and out. Even the ones who believe they have a feature back don't hand them the ball 25-30 times a game anymore. It's fine if you wanna to that but what blue and I are talking about is the mind boggling deployment McCarthy is employing. Zeke out in the red zone for Deuce? On what planet does that make sense? Like I said I don't care who starts and I wager Zeke doesn't either but McCarthy and crew have got to figure out how to get these guys into the plays that play to their strengths and quit worrying about showing tendencies. If something works then that's a pretty good reason for it to BECOME a tendency.
Yeah, I wish it were true too Ronnie. We all know Booger is loyal to special players and Zeke was one. Then the clock catches up, we lose a step, we aren't as quick, we can't bounce around or bounce back like when we were young.
