Fearless forecast: Jerry, heeding criticism, will re-install the running game

[GimmeTheBall!]

Yes, legions of bland men with pure hearts, you will say: "403 passing yards last week, are you serious handsome man??? Why throw away the hot hand?"

Then again there is Jerry who might want a running game to grind out time against the Bolts.
And Jerry wants a return on the millions he squandered on Zeke.

Write it down. Against the Chargers, Zeke 60 yards, Pollard 45 yards
Dak 25 of 35, 280 yards.

And that is why we can't have nice things.

The offensive game plan will be different from week to week depending on our opponents defensive strengths/weaknesses.

Football 101 stuff. In other words, next week has zero to do with last week. Also has nothing to do with Zeke's contract.

Jerry has his own radio thon . Of course no one can call him and ask questions the interrogation comes from the radio station paying to carry the games but ahhh ahhh ugh yes ahh the ah kicking game did become a factor ….ah ah .

 

[Cowfan75]

Did I watch a different game? Did we lose because we didn't run? Tampa knew all we were doing was passing and they couldn't stop us. WE stopped us, as usual.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Have to admit, the title made laugh out loud.

Without Martin, against the #1 run defense (with two monster DTs), when Dallas did run it went nowhere.

Passing was the best option for that game.

 

[America's Cowboy]

We go according to how our Oline goes.

If our Oline struggles to run block against the Chargers the way it did against the Buccaneers, our Offense will go pass heavy and rely on our QB and receivers to carry us. If the Oline starts run blocking much better, Zeke and Pollard will carry the ball much more. Our Oline currently is not good enough to force our run will upon our opponents at this time..

28 run plays were called against TB. Dak checked out of 12 of them and averaged 4.6 yards per play on those changes.

Nothing wrong with that.

Just give me a big fat "W" and I won't care how you get it. Stats are for Fantasy Football Geeks.

Let's attack the other teams strength and beat ourselves up banging our heads against the wall. We have done it in the past.

 

[Sydla]

Frankly, I don't think he cares what they do on offense. Moore is a pass first kind of coordinator and Jerry has defended him and pushed McCarthy to keep him as OC. If Jerry was really concerned with running the ball, he'd have found an OC that would do that for him.

7 runs a quarter. Hmmmm. Interesting. Hmmmm.
So, in your foosball world, Zeke becomes a very expensive blocker ... hmmmm. Interesting.

Your method of posting has become like a cool breeze on a hot day. May you continue to bring your wisdom to the huddled masses, bland people and hairdressers.

Fine job. Keep up the good work and don’t let the detractors bring you down.

Cant win with zero ground game.

need a ground game to win football games.

maybe we need a new OL coach…

instead of someone who is big buddies with mike.

Agreed. Not liking how the Oline has performed under Mike's buddy.

 

[Maxmadden]

Sure you can. Since 1940 that has happened 30 times in the regular season by 14 different teams… And once in the playoffs.

I snipped that off of the internet but I'm lazy. But if any of it is true then yes you can win with a zero ground game. I didn't really need to go to the internet to know it was true. I already knew you CAN win with a Zero running game.

To be efficient I want a balanced attack. Maybe 60/40 pass/run to overcome some of the Off holding penalties.
