Re: Week 2 Improvement
effective ground game fixes everything:
-opens up the pass, including deep ball off of play-action -keeps D off field -presumably gives us lead, limiting other O's options -ST? who cares? So Morstead has to kick off 8 times... -penalties? fewer false starts and holding calls on running plays |

Re: Week 3 Improvement :)
Interesting stat in regards to a running game keeping a defense off the field, especially when you throw in Drews 2 INTs.

That's because Ingram runs so slow it takes a lot of time off the clock. NFL Stats: by Team Category |

Re: Week 3 Improvement :)
Special Teams...3 reasons from just the first half of today's game.
1. Sproles punt return to NO 36 yd line; stinking penalty and we start on NO 12 yd line. 24 yards matters in a close game. 2. We punt out of bounds to AZ 33 yd line; stinking penalty and they start on AZ 43 yd line. A good team takes full advantage of boners like these. 3. We take 14-7 lead with less than 3 minutes to go in the half. Arenas takes the kickoff to NO 49 yd line. Seriously? Again, good teams take advantage of these things. FIRE McMahon now. In the playoffs, special teams boners like these get you beat. And that was just from the first half...wonder why it was so close at half time playing an average team in the Dome? Here's your answer. |
