Don't forget Marlon Mack adding his weight to his RG to help road grade his way to a first down.


Or Marlon Mack giving Brisset that extra nudge on a sneak to ensure a first down. I'm rapidly becoming a Marlon Mack fan.

Someone go get all the stats. I have no idea where to find that stuff. We need to know run/pass ratio, attempts, rushing yards and TDs, as well as any notable comments on a particular performance.

My letter-writing campaign has borne fruit, as the Arizona Cardinals have reversed this trend with a respectable performance of 266 yards rushing on 38 carries in their complete and utter annihilation of the Cincinnati Bengals (trust me, don't worry about checking the game tape).

This was more carries than pass attempts (32) and pass yards (248).

Nice to see that Kliff will actually run the ball if it's working. I wasn't sure if he would honestly

The hubris of Andy Reid:

quote:

The Chiefs didn't try to alleviate pressure by calling more running plays. They tried runs on just 14 of their 57 plays. LeSean McCoy, their leading rusher entering the game, got no carries.

"They were banged up a little bit in the secondary," Reid said of the Colts. "I thought we could take advantage of that."

The Chiefs weren't productive with the run, gaining 36 yards. A more concerted effort to run the ball might have made a difference.

Then the NFL took away the first down :argh:

In other news, the Raiders are 3-0 when establishing the run, this time against the Bears vaunted run defense. It should’ve been a blowout if not for a few miscues and just passing too much. Josh Jacobs was destroying them all day, there wasn’t much reason to bother with anything else. The unsettling trend I’m seeing is unnecessarily trying to go for balance, leading to poor second halves after dominant run heavy ball control first halves. The line needs to order those "RUN THE drat BALL" hats the Colts players bought.

Christian McCaffrey ran 19 times for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns against Jacksonville.

Aaron Jones had FOUR rushing touchdowns to go with his 107 yards on the ground in 19 attempts. Add in Aaron Rodger's 4 rushes and Tra Carson's 6, and the Packers had 29 rushing attempts to just 22 pass completions (34 attempts). Not an impressive ratio or yardage total, but the 4 TDs is noteworthy.

The Oakland Raiders rushed with six different personnel, totaling 39 attempts compared to just 32 passing attempts (25 completions). Rookie Josh Jacobs established 26 runs for 123 yards and two touchdowns, dominating the Chicago Bears who pathetically only attempted 17 rushes achieving just 42 yards on the ground! Compare that to Chase Daniel's 30 passing attempts (22 completions). Despite the clinic put on by the Colts last night in rushing, you have to take note of this ratio of ground domination, and the fact that the Raiders were demonstrating the power of The Run to help introduce our beloved game to the British.

Please note that while gaudy numbers were put up in the pass game - the Texans ran the ball 34 times to 33 passes.

Included in those 34 runs were feeding Carlos Hyde the ball 21 times for 60 yards. Work was put in on the ground and while the effort did not match the run establishment of the Colts (and a few others), I feel that it should be acknowledged with a solitary head nod - nothing flashy like a handshake - in honor of Carlos Hyde's efforts.

Indeed. Actually, the Texans used the run beautifully to stay on schedule. They were successful on first, second and even third down and gave Watson favorable situations to throw the ball. Usually you don't see a run game and a pass game work so flawlessly together

I mean, better had they not passed at all but it's a huge improvement from last season. I'm not sure if they punted once the whole game, I think their only failed drive was the end of the 2nd quarter

An 83 yard TD run on their first offensive snap, and 275 rushing yards on 40 carries (to 29 pass attempts), including a 114 yard rusher and a 97 yard rusher. We should definitely consider the possibility that they established the run.

I have to give it to indianpolis, they beat an undefeated opponent by running the most total times this week despite three other teams getting better returns on the run. They had a play that turned into rugby scrum. I repeat, they established the run so hard they temporarily changed games to one that outlaws the forward pass

2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the turf and ground into him the grit of life and the man became a living being.

2:8 Now the Lord God had built a stadium in the east, in Canton, and there he put the man he had formed.

2:9 The Lord God drew up all kinds of plays to cover the field-- plays that were pleasing to the eye and good for yards. In the middle of the playbook was the play of the flying V and the play of the knowledge of passing backwards and forwards.

2:16 The Lord God said "You are free to run any play in the stadium"

2:17 "but the play of the knowledge of passing backwards and forwards, for when you run it you shall surely retire"

2:18 The Lord God said "It is not good for man to scheme alone. I will make a helper suitable for him

2:21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep bye-week; and while he was resting he took from him one of his ribs and then closed up the place by rubbing dirt on it

2:21 Then the Lord God made a coach from the rib he had taken from man and he brought the coach to mans lockerroom

I have to go with the 49ers, although several others including the Raiders and Colts have good claim on it.

However, I watched that game and it was absolute domination via the run. That kind of endorsement for our lifestyle is incredibly valuable, and should lead to more establishing of the run. There was one drive in particular that went: pass, run, run, run, 4th down run, run, run, run, run, run, run, touchdown run

Athanatos posted:

The traditional wishbone fell out of vogue because it's really slow developing and it's hard to get any misdirection going consistently when a lot of your plays are slow fake or give to the fullback obviously going to one side. Even fast small defenses can throw a whole bunch of dudes to one side of the field when every play takes two seconds before people start moving.

Even though I love my childhood football the flexbone moves faster and is better and one day I want to see a tiny armed services academy quarterback running it in the NFL.
