Preemptive Strike

[phdefense]

We are facing another solid run D again this week. So before everyone starts worrying about our running game. Stop and realise that for the 4th week we are facing a defense that holds it's opponent to less the 4 yards a carry. And guess what? We will be in the same situation in game #5 as well....yep that's right...not until Game #6 and after the bye will we face truly weak run D. If we do not see a higher impact in that game then yes I will be concerned. What does this mean? We do not yet have a running game that can impose it's will on a defense, but it is strong enough to provide balance and keep defenses honest.

But there is good news and there is no Gekko involved hehe. Even though Oakland does not gives up alot yardage wise on the groud they do give up points on the ground (5 TD's). So if we can move well between the 20's our red zone efficiency should be good. And honestly this is probably why they are 0-3.

I think we need to cut some slack on the running game. SD and SF we were playing catch up and the Skins have a good D. JuJo is getting good yards considering the cirsumstances.

was it me or right after the Jones fumble it seemed he didnt get many carries after that.

Not true. That fumble was realatively early in the game. He had several carries later in the first half and for good gains.

Right now they are trying to shut JJ and Witten down allowing for the big plays to ey and Glenn. Wait till they have to account for Key and Glenn and witten and JJ will break out. Witten already had some coverage shifted off of him and look what happened. Give it a few more games while the O-Line Jells and Defenses have to account of our other threats. I think the Pass will allow JJ to torch the raiders but we shall see. 260 yards and 3 TD's is pretty damn good for 3 games. Ill take 1500 Yards and 16 TD's anyday and twice on Sundays!
