Re: The Dynamic Duo
I hope he doesn’t start forcing the run when it’s not working. He has a time or two in the past been hard headed when it comes to that. I would like to see how we handle it if the running game was completely shut down. Well not really, but it would be a nice measuring stick.
They shut down the run and we just torch them with 500 yards in the air lol. |

When you can do what the Saints did against the Bills, 300 yards rushing, 2 backs over 100 yards, 6 rushing TDs, 28 consecutive rushes without a pass, a 94 yard drive with runs of 11, 10, 9, 9, 15, 11, 11, 5, 6 and 7... AND have a future Hall of Famer at QB. I'm just glad I'm not the opposing teams' defensive coordinator's because those guys aren't going to be getting much sleep. |

I guess I’m saying I hope he will make adjustments when needed. I’m thinking pass to JG, pass to JG, pass to JG, interception. So far so good though.

But abandoning the run is what gets this team in trouble.![]()
BTW the amazing part of the game wasn't the fact that the Saints were running the ball. It was the effectiveness of those runs. The O-line was blowing the doors off the Bills front 7 forcing the safeties to come up and tackle. We finally have the balance in all phases that we've been waiting for. The Saints had better not let anyone truly disrupt it. SFIAH |

Re: The Dynamic Duo
Redskins' pass defense is decent, run, not-so-much. I expect offense will be good, so it'll will come down to whether or not the D stops Cousins.
and I expect Gallette to have a big day -> --nvr mind |
