We tried to run, we got stuffed multiple times. Our offensive line feeds off of our ability to pass, they are poor run blockers as a unit. We have to be "cute" with our playcalling because we simply have to be to set up the run. When we can't run against a defense that's committed to defending the pass, it spells huge trouble.
The thing is even when a big hole was there, it caved pretty quickly as our guys couldn't hold their blocks. Duece also had one of those games where he decided he didn't want to run very hard.(yes he does that every now and then, luckily not often, but he does it)
We didn't pound the ball because it wasn't working.
Negativity aside I still believe we have one of the best passing attacks in the league, if not the best, so I have not loss faith in our team.
We didn't commit to the run. 22 total rushes for both McAllister and Bush is nowhere close to what they should have had. We were tied 10-10 at the half. We were in perfect position to wear them down with a healthy dose McAllister/Bush. If McAllister and Bush rushed the ball at least 40-50 times Thursday night, I felt the outcome would have been different. . Even if we didn't get 4-5 yards per carry early on, I felt our backs ypc would have rised dramatically in the 4th quarter.
