Why does Schotty abandon the run so quickly?

[Starforever]

I mean he's averaging 3.7 on the season with only has one game averaging over 4. He has 0 big play juice.

Let the running back run! What is wrong with you people?

Well when you pass pass pass
1) the defense ends up going back on the field quickly and often which you don’t want
2) Dak throws picks, which gives the defense a short field to defend which (see number 1)
3) opposing offense gets momentum being on the field a lot and (see number 1)

 

[TheDude]

lolol. the best part is the were throwing 3-5 yard hitches on 80% of those plays.

they are so dumb they think " must pass" when down vs situation, yards and time.

I don't know what this means.

I would like them to run the ball more but the ground game is so unreliable and puts them behind the sticks so often that you can't justify it.

 

[Hoofbite]

should get someone fired. It won’t but it should.

I remember the legend Bill Parcells….hed run the ball three times and punt if he had to. He kept pounding the rock all day to control the clock, set up play action, and just physically beat the other team. If we had gotten Henry when we should’ve, this would be a great option. Parcells knew that punting is way better than Dak or Quincy tossing a pick, and controls field position. Running more also keeps the opposing offense off the field, out of rhythm, and rests your d. This is a coach that took a Quincy Carter and Troy Hambrick team to the playoffs, basically a rebuilding year.

Have you watched the 49ers? McCaffrey gets much to nothing but a smart team still utilizes its weapons.

wow. this is pathetic. schotty is over his head. sorry to dak haters, but no QB should have to go through this and Dak played bad last night.

 

[fivetwos]

Can’t wait to hear about how they want to run the ball better.

Tough to do when you not only get punched in the mouth, you take a shot at yourself as well. Down 17 zip the game plan changes….but that’s a little ridiculous. Gotta keep em honest.

McCaffrey is averaging 4.7 ypc what are you talking about?

I take 3.7 over that many passes.

 

[LouBrown]

Because they can't run.

Trying to run the ball is the dumbest thing they do. Coward offense.

 

[LouBrown]

That's fine, you'll have the worst offense in football.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

so you want to go for 4.5 yards per pass? or 3.7 yards per carry? sometimes its the total rushing yards and your attempt in running the ball.

4.5 > 3.7

 

[csirl]

I dont think our running game is completely bad. Its good enough that we can run at least once per series of downs and slow down the game to give the D a break.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

4.5 > 3.7

yes, but did it work? balance is key. we had 7 points until very late in the game on a meaningless TD against prevent defense. balance is key.

and generally passing average will always be higher than running.

in that case, based on your logic every team should pass 100% of the time.

Running games need repetition. The teams who do it will are ok sucking at it for three quarters. They’re still gonna do it in the fourth. Because they know it’s accumulative. The issue can’t be called out as a “inability to run” until they actually stay dedicated to it for an entire game.

Can't wait for the run when you are down 0-17 though.
