Re: Heaven help us Ingrams playing today
Cruize, I was thinking the same thing. From my view point, I thought the lack of using Ingram more often in the short to intermediate passing attack was another missed opportunity to successfully move the ball down the field.

Re: Heaven help us Ingrams playing today
The overall point is to be less predictable. I saw Ingram WIDE open many times last year for that 4+ yard play, which I'll take every time, and instead Brees forced the ball downfield. Sometimes resulting in an interception. Take what the defense gives you. Dumping the ball off creates more openings down the field later. Running the ball more makes the offense less predictable. Defenses can't just pin their ears back and attack like the Jets did yesterday. Make the lineman and linebackers play the run and make tackles. Grubbs was a big reason the Ravens Ray Rice was so successful. Evans is a beast. Strief is a mauler. Let them wear the defense down instead of asking them to standup, backup, and dance 40+ times a game.

DLP is actually the worst on our line, between the penalties and missed assignments, he is wreaking havoc on out offense. At the end of the day what do you think the reason Drew throws where he throws is? There has to be one. |
