I hate empty sets

[Richmond Cowboy]

Why in the world do we not pass more out of running formations? Even if they wanted to stay aggressive in the second half against the Packers why not throw using play action? I can't count how many times I saw an empty backfield with a huge lead. It makes me absolutely crazy!

i hate it because it takes away our flexibility: both in protection and in terms of the offense. the defense just can pin their ears back and just rush running all those stunts because they don't have to account for a tailback sneaking out of the flat. Not to mention, you lose a potential extra blocker without the running back in there.

When it comes to our offense, there are far more questions than answers.

The ones in charge are so clueless I can't believe they keep their jobs.

Sorry I'm not more help. I can't explain the unexplainable.

I agree with you guys. It really aggravates me in the red zone where coverage gets tighter anyway. Totally removing the threat of a run is crazy IMO.

most of us pretty much feel the same way you do.

We do. When we go to 13 or 22 personnel, we will throw it. Very predictable because any team should know by now that we are throwing out of that package. I hate empty package sets on 1st and 2nd down. Horrible playcall for that situation.

I've been watching the NFL for well over 40 years. Frankly I can't believe we got to 7-7.
