Running attack vs. Seahawks defense. Thoughts?

hagan714 · 11-25-2013, 09:41 PM

it will be a battle so get ice in the tubs before half time.

suck them up with a bit of the run . then open them up with pass. then you start getting those nice 6 to 15 yard runs. suckem back up to line and start all over again.

same thing we did with the whiners and the cowgirls

do not get away from the run and go pass happy. as good as we are at it it is not our best game plan. jets and the pats are proof of that

if we get 150 yards rushing we should be looking sweet. 100 or less we are in a bit of trouble. 60 - 40 pass to run should be cool

Dropping my fantasy bird dinner, I do not appreciate any comments regarding the height of Wilson. This is off limits.

Wilson has made it very clear he is a fan of Drew Brees and Drew is his role model.

Any conversation regarding height and Wilson, just replace Wilson's name with young QB Drew Brees.

Do not get caught spewing double talk and height is double talk.

Now, excuse me as I return to my bird and dressing.
Carry on.

Didn't Russell train with Brees a little over the off-season? I may be thinking of someone else.

Russell Wilson is one of this leagues future stars, and from everything I gather is a class act. We need more Russell Wilsons and fewer Cam Newtons.

But with that said, I hope we rip his frigging head off this week.

To answer the OP question, I think we will run pretty well against Seattle.
Maybe get them to bring ET down to stop the run and throw a few deep.

PT is on a roll now and running hard. Throw Sproles in there and keep them off balance. Need to script a lot of plays this week and avoid confusion on the line. I think this is going to huge and will take the crowd out of it if we can get up on them and start shutting them down. Very critical we contain Wilson much like we did with Kaperdick.

It doesn't sound like passing friendly weather so I hope the running game is very apparent that day.

I'll take 5 wide and short passes over the running game
Why, oh why, does every analyst start every game with _________ has to be able to run. ___________ has to establish a running game. We were 5-0 before we found anything resemling a running game

Go with your strengths: pass blocking and the ball in Brees' hands

to answer the OP question, I don't think we will run well against them, and hope we don't spend too long learning that.
It would be nice to score on the opening drive once in awhile

I think we can run on that team, unless they're sitting on it. But I think they'll be expecting us to come out running. Might have to stick with the short passing game early.

Either way, doesn't matter. Drew will either use the run to set up the pass or vice-versa. Their best bet would be to consistently stop the run with a 4 man front and drop everyone else in coverage, but then they'll have to worry about screens.

I fully expect that. Maxwell can play the Slot or be a CB but now that he has taken over for Thurmond, I expect to see a healthy dose of Sproles. Do you guys have a speed burner who beats teams deep?
