Let me ask the board this question - which I think is Legit...

Do we appear to be running out of gas?

no, i think bill emphasized the running game because the lions were expecting us to pass.

that's why the lions were jumping offsides so much.

If JJ was mediocre, then what was Barber with his 3.6? He got the TD's, but it was noticeable that on HIS goal line runs there were good holes and he did not meet anyone untill the goal line- JJ was hit in the backfield on all 3 plays.

The coach is aware of this. Expect Oline to be addressed in the draft, free agency, and to be much improved next season.

I agree!

Do we appear to be running out of gas?

I think it's the immense amount of rookies we have playing large roles, starting to hit the rookie wall: Ware, Pettiti, Canty, Spears, plus our O is really hurt by the loss of Flo, can't run too many 3-wide sets, which gave us great success earlier in the year, before Flo went down

Well, could be...don't forget, we have a lot of rookies out there....

First seasons are tough on rookie players who are used to only playing 10 games. This is a rough stretch for those guys.

dangit, beat me to it

Crayton's return will help

idk about that, we need to protect our OTs, which means less 3-WR sets, same thing we're seeing now, and I don't see it changing until the OTs start playing better to gain Parcells' trust
