Where should it come from? Bouman, Stecker, Henderson?
|
Time for a spark
Neither. Karney needs to lay a guy flat and bust Deuce loose. Karney gets my vote.

for god sakes not bouman. dude he couldnt get a spark witha pack of matches. i dont think any of this is deuces fault. looks like were back to more two te sets n less fullback running plays. not going to work. but hey if ur mccarthy it hasnt worked for 6 games keep trying it. we used a fullback more the last two games n thats why deuce had better numbers.
as far as henderson im not sure why we havent brought him in for at least some chances at returning kicks. could be a spark there. we need something though brro, ur right |
Time for a spark
Looks like we may have something going.
Oh yeah, and Mike Karney is officially the coolest guy on our team. He kills LBs!! I love it!! |
Time for a spark
Henderson is hurt. Hamstring.

Time for a spark
did not know that thanks joesam

Time for a spark
Geez, he get hurt in pratice? Any way i have not heard many play action calls. (I\'m in Houston and listening to the game on Field Pass). I know we tried to set up the run so i think some play actions might help.
|
Time for a spark
Okay they just did a play action but the throw was bad.
|
Time for a spark
There\'s no time for play action. AB can take 3 step drops at best before a Raider is in his face or on his back.

Time for a spark
let us all bask in the glory that is a 21-9 lead. Soak it in boys and girls, we don\'t know what will happen next.
|
Time for a spark
is it just me, or does it look like something is up with AB\'s release on his throws?
|
Time for a spark
Speacial teams was the spark.
|
Time for a spark
I guess a very lackluster win will have to do as a spark because, even with the worst teams in the league we still can\'t consistently get pressure on their QB.
|
Time for a spark
right on that one. all those draft pick and our pass rush is bland and pointless outside of Grant. need better blitz packages. (or D-Coordinator)
Special teams def. gets my gameball. They ruled today. |
Time for a spark
I think they should start throwing to Karney out of the backfield.The guy has great hands and is nothing but power. Imagine him with a head of steam. Nothing but positive yardage.This kid may end up being the best full back in the league.

1) Deuce needs to start trusting Karney to lay the wood. There were a couple of times all he needed to do was simply run behind Karney\'s block, but picked another hole. 2) My brother and I got into a heated (yet friendly :D) screaming match during the game about running the ball. It\'s his contention that the Saints simply line up in the I and cram the ball down the defense\'s throat 3-5 yards at a time. I contend that the running game can be significantly enhanced simply by mixing it up a bit more and not let Karney be a key to the run game. Frankly I\'d like to see Deuce run the ball less than 1/2 the time on 1st down. I want a mix of runs, play action, dump offs to Deuce and Karney, and yes even a screen or two. Make the defensive line pay for trying to be disciplined in the run game on 1st and 2nd down. Just some thoughts, SFIAH |

BTW a question related to this: what exactly can one do in the chuck zone? Is there any reason why teams don\'t defend great receivers such as Moss and Owens by simply flattening them on the line of scrimmage. Is there a rule against it? SFIAH |
Time for a spark
Can\'t agree with you more SFIAT about Duece following Karney\'s lead block...I kept yelling into the other room where my friend was yesterday saying,\" WHY WONT DEUCE FOLLOW KARNEY!!\" Seems like when were we in the red zone Karney threw a lead block and deuce cut it back inside, and on the replay he could of gotten 6-7 more yards if he\'d followed Karney
|
Time for a spark
Glad I\'m not the only one that noticed deuce not following Karney. I was really dumbfounded on a couple of plays when Karney opened up lanes for Deuce that he could have run for long runs thru...but Deuce took his own path for a yard gain. I was starting to wonder if Deuce was taking payoffs from Oakland...either that, or McCarthy was taking bribes. It\'s the only explanation for some of Mike\'s play calling.

As far as I know, inside that first 5 yds. you can rip into the WR to throw off his route. This is a good thing for us now that we have MM and Brown. Both are big, physical guys that can muscle folks off their timing. Tillman of the Bears made his name as a rookie last year abusing Moss at the LOS.
Unfortunately for us we have had til now Fred Thomas, who is fundamentally a great CB, but gets bech-pressed by guys like Owens and burned bt Moss. And yeah, I hate the 2 TE set. It only works when you mix in effective plays and a great ability to audible at the line (re: Peyton Manning). Our bread and butter should by 2 back sets. Karney is a great short yard guy to take pressure off Deuce and can catch. One other formation that I think will actually work well vs. the Broncos is a 2 TE 2 back 1 WR set. As long as you preoccupy Bailey and Kennedy, and suck their LBs in, I think both Deuce and AB will have great days. [Edited on 26/10/2004 by BiggPoppaFro3] |
