Glad we have the problem of too many RB's. Guess the O-line is to blame for the lack of a running game thus far. Ingram got my attention late in the fourth against Atlanta when he got got hammered in the backfield from a missed block and HELD on to the ball. And again in OT when when he picked up 6 setting us up for the winning FG. Ivory has a tendency to put the ball on the turf. Can't really say who is better or more valuable at this point. Ingram needs to find his lanes quicker and learn to alter his path when the lane closes, he seems to bounce of the O-lines backs alot.

well... SHADE! No disrespect, Canton, but that was agonizing. I'm not 'beefing' you, just calling it like I see it. I want a dominant running game with the stable we have. Alaska |

Defenses have to respect the pass when in those formations. Lately we have just been trying to run out of strictly power run formations which the defense reads and loads up the box. Maybe it was because of Payton's injury and Carmichael calling the plays but we need to go back to that style of play calling and keep defenses guessing. I know I've said this many of times now and even in a post earlier this morning but those videos you posted backs me up on this.
