They've been quite successful against mediocre teams. The meat of the schedule is coming up and turnovers are what determines going to the playoffs and staying home. I want the rose-colored glasses like like the rest of you but I was watching the games not drinking the kool-aid. Deuce needs the ball close to the goal line with Karney lead blocking period. Reggie is good for off-tackle plays, slot receiver plays and occasionally an up-the-middle play to keep the defense honest. We could kill alot more of the clock and reduce the number of turnovers and turnover situations with Deuce getting 70-75% of running plays and Bush getting the rest with his pass-receiving thrown in for good measure. Offensive drives are about flow and with the great QB we now have and the constant of Deuce's running ability mixed with Colston and Reggie's receiving skills we could have a better record right now with less turnovers.
Bush: 81 carries for 207 yards = 2.6 average. Longest rush of 18 yards and 1 TD (as a running back). McAllister: 126 carries for 547 yards = 4.3 average. Longest rush of 57 yards with 7 TDs. Not to mention, Reggie has fumbled twice in crucial situations that turned the game around and played a crucial part in 2 of our 3 losses. C'mon Payton, give Deuce the ball and let's finish this season out strong. |
