Just start with Elliott

ITS tough to just ram zeke for 3 yards then 2 yards then maybe no gain. zeke would have 20 carries for 79 yards..how do you win like that? the oline isnt the same and 8/9 in a box has stuffed it up.. that passing game needs to be more than 4 yard and 7 yard gains. smh

He will break one. He always does. Then play action. If they come into the next game with the same thing again. We will lose.
 
Give the man 20+ carries a game. Start there, he is used to the whole team being in the box. Get him rolling and play action. Use the RPO, that’s what Dak is used to. Slow him into the pocket. Designed roll outs. Don’t make him a sitting target.

JG and Linehan is so hard headed and set in making him a pocket QB in 1 or 1 1/2 seasons that they will lose games. Or get him killed.

Just saying. How about get this Offense cranked up and get them some confidence. Let this O-Line eat.

Averaging 16 carries a game. Give him 7 more. Take 7 passes away. Already sounds like winning.

Start by execution of the run game early.
 
We've always had the same problems. Not running with Murray enough or not running with Elliott enough... same story different player...

Not getting Dez involved early enough, not being creative with where we used him. Not having Beasley run multiple routes from multiple positions until what his 6th year in the league?

Linehan or JG fault?
 
If you execute, problem is they're not executing. There's been penalties, blown assignments, including our best players
I have noticed the Defense is getting dumb penalties on 3rd down and keeping themselves in the field. I was stuck watching the OT hame last week and the station didn’t switch over so missed the roughing penalty on Crawford. Was that on 3rd down?

Sunday, Zeke ran on 1st down 11 times. He had 4 runs of 19+ yards on 1st down and 3 of those were still when we were close in the game. 5 plays of 3 or less yds and of those only one had 0 yds. This was against a pretty good defense, that had their pro-bowl LB keying on Zeke. There were a couple of badly missed blocks on some of those runs too, that hopefully can be cleaned up.

We also ran Tavon once on first down for 18 yards, his only carry of the day.

I would rather go down relying on Zeke's legs than Dak's arm. Play to your strengths.
