What do you expect to happen??? Everyone all week has said run run run, are we supposed to do it every play? Eventually there has to be a little balance.

Now trust me I know what you're saying, but you have to realize Kellen Moore is here. If every run doesn't go for 20+ his palms will sweat and will call all pass plays. Don't let us get down in game, we may never see a run!

Just looking at things another way, YES YES YES YES WE MUST RUN THE BALL!!!!!!!

we are going against the odds. we will be throwing the ball, nothing will change with a different quarterback. Run gets stopped early and we pass the rest of the game.



TOTALLY AGREE we might throw in a few runs somehow to make it look like we tried to run, but we will continue to be pass happy!!

I think Rush will be able to move the ball, but sustained drives will be an issue. They have a good secondary and we have awful WR’s and it’s still going to be the issue if Dak or Rush play.

Run the ball more than 16 times. Elliot got 8 runs in the first half. 2 in the second half.. 2… Watch his runs. Most of them it was the last defender available was the one that tackled him. He was about to break one and he knew it. That’s why he said we should commit more to the run. And I bet bengals are watching those runs and saying we need to stack the line. He is going to break some if you feed him. Same with Pollard. Now Pollard didn’t have a great game and I think he was in on one of the failed trick plays and lost 8 yards or so.

We need to line up and run. Play action and short passes. Get it to them in space. 12 personnel.

It’s Moore that’s calling the plays. He does the same thing all the time. If we aren’t winning the game he wants to throw. We don’t have the cocka doodie WR talent to do it. There is no Cooper and Gallup with Lamb in the slot. Some those WR last week, it was there first NFL game.

Was just about to post something like this.
Everyone is talking run. So idiot boy wonder will come out passing. May end up being genius, but doubtful.
As he will have a few successful plays, then use a trick play to kill the drive and change momentum.

The first series play will be a long pass for a great gainer. That will make the Bengals think before crowding the line.
To Lamb.

If they stack the line then Moore will run the same dive or wham play all day. Nothing off the tackle. WR will be one on one and open. Maybe Rush will have the sack to change the plays in the huddle or at the LOS. It’s what Dak needs to start doing. I remember Romo started doing it after some years.

Then to be called back for holding, or at some point in that drive we will settle for the beloved FIELD GOAL! Drive killing penalties will hurt us

romo changing Garrett's brilliant plays is why Garrett turned on romo.

Running is going to be harder now than it was before. Sadly.

Cant feature a run game when its not working.

Until the Cowboys can make defenses pay for playing a two deep nickel then this team is pretty much screwed. throw in the Oline penalty on nearly every drive and its a regular disaster.

This is another reason why we need a new OC.

Watching pollard run into 9 man box was pure stupid. I expect cincy defense to focus on stopping the run and make rush beat them in tge air.
