I mentioned how horrible he has been in the past and how bad he was in the offseason, which more than just me pointed out.Schmitty has mentioned multiple times how horrendous he has played.
Apparently there aren't.There are people that actually pay attention to what he says?
Whoa.
You try way too hard to come up with moronic rebuttals to my positions.Per schmitty's take, if he thinks Parnell is horrific, then Garrett should be running the ball less these next 3 weeks since Garrett, you know, adjusts his playcalling to personnel.
It's actually quite easy.You try way too hard to come up with moronic rebuttals to my positions.
It doesn't even make sense... Garrett isn't calling plays.It's actually quite easy.
See?
I think its obvious that the line is both run blocking and pass blocking on a different level right now. It wasn't bad last year, but not like this.All in all, Murray's streak is remarkable.
What's funny is that unless you want to chalk it up to Mackenzy Bernadeau, all that kept this from happening late last year and forging a playoff run was Garrett's lack of trust.
Remember that this record is just to start the season. Barry Sanders holds the record for most consecutive at 14 games.All in all, Murray's streak is remarkable.
The lack of trust was far more of an albatross than the development from Frederick and Leary.That being said, you are correct that the lack of trust in the running game kept last year from being much more reasonable.
Eh, don't care. Not going to assume he can sustain this. But to start a season and pass an all timer like Jim Brown? Yeah, that's pretty cool.Remember that this record is just to start the season. Barry Sanders holds the record for most consecutive at 14 games.
Yeah, absolutely, particularly in the Packers and Bears games. Never denied that.The lack of trust was far more of an albatross than the development from Frederick and Leary.
Garrett trusts this run game instead of Kyle Orton, we probably make the playoffs last year and you know it.
You keep saying Garrett had to learn to trust the oline again like he was a spurned wife learning to trust her cheating husband again like it's a valid excuse. He is a head coach in the NFL and should be able to properly evaluate the talent his team has and use them accordingly.Yeah, absolutely, particularly in the Packers and Bears games. Never denied that.
What I said was it took Garrett a while to catch up on that trust after seasons and seasons of inferior OL play (considering the run blocking was up and down the first 7 weeks or so -- even Bob Sturm has said the material change in the offense occured after the bye week last year).
I don't pretend he'd be running the ball right now like Linehan is currently, but to think he wouldn't go back to 2007-08 levels is just foolish. It's also foolish to assume Garrett has absolutely no say at all in what we are doing right now and that Linehan is forcing him into this.
I don't entirely agree. It's not a valid excuse in-game when you are up 20+ against the Packers. In that situation, yeah, you need to have the flexibility to look at your YPC and adjust a bit. Even if not, you have to realize that running three times and punting is a win there. He's failed in that regard a good number of times, like against the Lions a couple years back as well.You keep saying Garrett had to learn to trust the oline again like he was a spurned wife learning to trust her cheating husband again like it's a valid excuse.

With the level of running game incompetence you describe, then Garrett was an idiot for even rushing the ball once.But after 3.5 years of piss poor and/or inconsistent run blocking, no, I don't really fault him for entering the second half of 2013 not planning on featuring the running game. For too long the team had simply been not able to do it at an NFL competent level.
Another stellar trolling attempt.With the level of running game incompetence you describe, then Garrett was an idiot for even rushing the ball once.
If we passed 100%, we probably would've made the playoffs.
Even at a 4 YPC level they weren't below a "NFL competent level". Murray did much better than that, but even with your 4 YPC level, it was enough to maintain the effort.Another stellar trolling attempt.
Do you think Garrett had the right balance of shitty rushing attempts to keep the defense honest for the passing game?Another stellar trolling attempt.
Of course he didn't have the right balance. That doesn't make anything I'm saying untrue.Do you think Garrett had the right balance of shitty rushing attempts to keep the defense honest for the passing game?
Or would you have preferred more/less rush attempts of <4.0 yards/carry?
