The run game is atrocious

[quickccc]

Our RT sucks right now and our left side has been in shambles all season with injuries.

We have no reliable depth.

I dunno about that.

I've liked what I've seen from backup vet Chuma ..and Bass and Richardson look like promising rookies.

But luckily we've not been forced to throw the rookies to the wolves on a long term basis.
Backup center would the only concern with me ( Hoffman)

I’ve seen nothing from them that instills any confidence right now. They are raw rookies.

Edoga is glass and stupid and his stupid idiotic penalty helped cost us the game today.

We scored a TD on that drive. It didn't cost us. Pay attention.

How can we really judge it with the way the players on the Oline are playing? Everyone is sucking pretty much. They can't pass block that well either if you haven't noticed....

 

[stiletto]

We had two guys run for over 4 ypc albeit Dowdle only had 2 carries but one was called back on that bad holding call where he ran for 30 yards. Our run game was actually decent in this game we just didn't run it enough because we fell behind.

Running the ball was over once Philly went up 28-17

This new OL coach (Mike Solaris) and his run run design scheme is horrid, imo.
An all purpose back like Pollard is built for a stretch run scheme, ..not a bell cow pound scheme.

- Did you see some of the stretch zone run scheme that Eagles run with RB Swift . sweep him off tackle, misdirection .vs what we keep trying to do with Pollard ?

- And some are just focused on rushing the ball, but we don't even see the RB screens
and RBs in the pass game that we expected to see. just mere dump offs.
We don't scheme him for splash plays run or pass - just modest bell cow duty.

- Pollard is just a non factor in the pass game - just blitz block and a mere decoy as a receiver.

- I'd hope I'd never thought I had to say this - but McCarthy is actually WORSE at using his RBs
in both run and pass game than even Kellen Moore.

- And I'm starting to wonder if departed OL coach Joe Philibin was actually a better coach than
this new OL coach Mike Solari.

- Steele not the same, ...center Tyler Biasdaz not the same, even HOF Martin is not having one of his better years.
And Pollard was having the openings and lanes to burst thru than what he is getting now.

The run game is atrocious​

Has been since week one. Didn't get fixed during the bye week and likely won't get fixed this season.

All we can do is hope it gets fixed in the off season. Coaches, players, schemes...........

People were on me when I said we needed to upgrade in the offseason. Looks like I was right.

Ditto

We had over 120 rushing yards vs Giants. ...and I believe even over 100 yard rushing vs Jets Defense.
Even a RB screen for a TD (Rico) .. but its been all downhill since then both in run and pass game.
It's a coach fail, imo.

An absolutely accurate summary of this year's run game ineptitude.

Coaching from all 3- playcaller, Schott and Solari is pathetic.

They have no idea on how to run an effective run scheme.

It is week 9 and we still have not figured out how to run the ball consistently. We can't keep relying on Dak to play at an All Pro level to stay in games. Not being able to run the ball will be a huge problem that hurts us at some point.

For sure.

 

[mugsybows]

It’s non existent. Especially the run up the middle. At this point might as well be an all passing team. Pollard had 12 attempts for 50 yards. Identical to last week.

 

[Tabascocat]

Dallas has a running back room filled with RB2’s running behind a subpar line…..what can go wrong?

 

[fivetwos]

Seems as if Pollard is in the Elliott role now.

Probably better off of Dowdle plays that role and Pollard goes back to the Pollard role.

 

[Starforever]

I just don't understand the quick turnaround on Pollard being the HOF back that dethroned Zeke. He has been "Hambricked."

Maybe big Mike is waiting for the weather to turn cold and nasty to unleash the run game. sarcasm.

You can find people to be “on you” for virtually ANY view.

 

[Blue64]

Truth.

We have scrub RBs.

Heck we have Deuce Vaughn…
He can run under the defenders legs!

 

[Sarge]

Dowdle busted a huge run and I don't think they called his number again after that.

That would make too much sense.

Yes.

Everyone was saying all we need is scrubs.

Of course it wasnt going to work.
