the VG board football thread

I totally disagree. Rogers and Franklin have both been very good when they are used. Franklin eats space and Rogers gets doubled a lot while pass rushing. If not, he bulldozes his man deep into the backfield.

The problem is the layer behind them, especially against the run and screens, particularly WR screens. All the LBs stink. Vilma included, though he occasionally flashes and makes a play in pass coverage because his brain figured something out.

The offense has looked very efficient at times. But I have to think that in order to win a championship, we're going to have to be able run the ball when people know we are running the ball at some point. Even pass happy Green Bay used their running game to make their playoff run last year (remember Starks emerging and shocking people).

Even the games this year where our offense has looked good, we haven't been able to impose our will running the ball. This has to change in order to have the type of success we want.

It's the type of thing that can be fixed. It might be Kruetz; I'm not sure. I seriously think we have a tell. Somehow we're tipping off the run.
one tell is that we make it painfully obvious we are running the ball 9/10 times that ingram gets on field. i also agree that the big problems on defense are the linebackers, jv not-included. the dude is still playing good football.
