Two good physical guards and Tyron but can't run

[3rdEyewarrior]

How? Why? even now, tyron and Zack can run block. Tyler can as well. why can't be have a consistent run game? runs are like body punches. it lets bigger guys rest against smaller guys.

 

[StarOfGlory]

No team really runs against the Eagles, so I’m not that upset about that part of the game. Their interior guys are just big run stuffers. Or maybe our running game is poorly designed?

we haven't run well all year. the 2014 team ran on everyone.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Ever think that maybe the new old Oline Coach has something to do with it.

Just something to consider

 

[CATCH17]

I think a few Jet sweeps to Turpin and cooks would solve a lot.

Literally been asking this on other threads.

HOW?!? Tyler Smith dominated Jalen Carter.

Pick either side of the line... how is this team NOT able to run the ball better?!

it *HAS* to be the scheme/playcalling. HOW are they not able to run the ball?!?! how?????

The two linemen you didn’t mention are not particularly good in the run game. If you want to be able to run inside consistently, you need a better run blocking center.

that won't help much in the redzone.

He dominated Carter in pass protection, not driving him off the ball in the run game.

even in 2014 we had 3 pro bowl caliber guys. we didn't have Zack and Tyler. maybe our center and tackle are just that bad. supposedly steele was a good run blocker.

Fredbeard was a great run blocking center. That’s what you want for the inside runs.

This problem goes beyond the Eagles game...
Pollard:
120carries 474yds (39carries 134yds; last 3 games (3.3yd/carry))

RB RUSHING TDs: THREE (3)
Pollard 2 (both vs NYJ week 2)
Dowdle 0
Vaughn 0
Luepke 1

Have to point to the blocking scheme

yeah. id take two great guard over a guard and center. but yeah travis is a hall of famer

 

[big dog cowboy]

Simple - The blocking scheme and the new OL coach stink. Very questionable play calling doesn't help.

First play of the game you run Pollard up the middle for one yard??? The entire offense knew it was coming and that's the best you could do?

After the kickoff I told the family, first play is Pollard up the middle for one followed by a 3 and out. Boom.

The 2024 season opener is exactly 10 months away. FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NDGAEDE]

Poor Pollard. He is so good and we have no idea how to use him.

Kellan knew how to use him.

 

[texbumthelife]

The blocking schemes have been atrocious. They’re using some system where on many runs they block like it’s a pass play. The tackles will give up ground to try and create a pocket and pulling guards work underneath. It’s be a disaster and they’ve stayed with it.

 

[McKDaddy]

Zack & TB aren't moving folks. Steele used to be a great run blocker but clearly hasn't recovered. Tyron doesn't get low & root people out. He can still move folks if it's not short yardage. Tyler is our only real power player right now.

 

[Cydios]

We need 1 more good lineman. Run game hasn't been the same since Frederick retired.

 

[CATCH17]

that won't help much in the redzone.

Why not? Chiefs and Dolphins do it all the time.
