Yeah back 20 years ago when we had overwhelmingly superior player talent in all aspects of the game, this worked. Ginger is still living in the 90s.We just need to execute the plays better /gingerfuck
I mean he does need rest. He can't play every down.There's no good reason - ever - to have Zeke on the sideline for an offensive snap. Not 3rd or 4th and long, not ever. He is a known threat to score at any given moment and defenses know that and fear that. Unfortunately our coaching doesn't know this. They're into "packages" for gadget guys which take Zeke off the field therefore removing our greatest threat.
He doesn't have to carry the ball every down or run with a catch. He is a threat on the field, not on the sideline. I can see him needing a breather after a long run, but this isn't really what we're talking about. I could have let it be known I understand there are exceptions to "never have him on the sideline" but I assumed we all understand that.I mean he does need rest. He can't play every down.
You can't run a NFL RB 30 times a game. We run the ball more than that.He doesn't have to carry the ball every down or run with a catch. He is a threat on the field, not on the sideline.

What we do have is, they take him off the field in critical situations where you NEED him in if only as the threat he represents. They can't seem to grok that you can run your gadget plays with Zeke still in there. They gotta have "packages" that don't include their most dangerous player, because they're just smarter than everyone else.
You do realize you're trying to talk sense into a guy that claimed we could win the division with only 4 wins, right?You can't run a NFL RB 30 times a game. We run the ball more than that.
Can we explain that "logic"?You do realize you're trying to talk sense into a guy that claimed we could win the division with only 4 wins, right?
No, I didn't knowYou do realize you're trying to talk sense into a guy that claimed we could win the division with only 4 wins, right?
the idea is to use the gadgetry with Zeke on the field. Then, the defense is certainly screwed. They will get caught buying into the gadgetry, and Zeke will make them pay. And dearly.It doesn't concern me that they want a gadget guy, but it would be moronic for Tavon to take more than just a handful of touces away from Zeke. if Zeke's coming off the field, I hope it's Bo who's spelling him...not this gadgetry.

He claimed that non division games didn't matter. The division winners were decided based on division record alone. So... If we swept one of the teams, and split with the other two, depending on how those two teams done in the division, we could make the playoffs as a division winner with as little as four total wins, regardless if the other teams had a better record that included non division wins.Can we explain that "logic"?
That wasn't the claim. The claim was (accurately) that you could win the division with only 4 wins.He claimed that non division games didn't matter.

Hearty laughs were had all around.
He was talking no sense because obviously he either didn't read what I posted or didn't understand it.You do realize you're trying to talk sense

Yeah I... never suggested that. Perhaps you're replying to someone else with this?You can't run a NFL RB 30 times a game. We run the ball more than that.
You suggested that no one else on the team should carry the ball...Yeah I... never suggested that. Perhaps you're replying to someone else with this?

this much is true. And yet, any of us can look at that film and see where McVay used Austin in tandem with Gurley. That shit will be good for some serious misdirection and yardage here with Zeke. Who you gonna guard?I think you're giving our offensive coaches too much credit.
Could happen, especially if Bo can also lead block.And, it causes the offense to be even more predictable.
Rushing, given our TE's are unproven.Maybe it would depend on down-and-distance and field position. Anymore in the NFL it seems like 3rd and three or greater is a passing situation. Offense brings in appropriate personnel and defense responds in kind.
But on 3rd and three if you had Zeke in the backfield and Austin in the slot, two TEs and a WR, is that a running formation or a passing formation?
