I saw Benson hesitate when the defense only left a path towards the sideline...which was good because we wanted to keep the clock moving... the up the middle runs just seamed cluttered because the defense knew what we were doing.

Either way...Demarcado has greatly improved since last season...between he and Benson I'm pretty comfortable with the future of our rushing attack
Good point. The one I'm thinking of we had 2 blockers on one guy seemed like a chance for a chunk run and he sort of hesitated and got taken down

We are very one dimensional. Until I can see him call a better passing game, he falls in the good enough for now spot.
Come on man. Crazy to throw the ball when you’re averaging 8 yards a carry. If we would have started throwing the ball we would have been crushing Petzing.
Oh, and we threw for over 300 yards last week.

Also reality is setting in on the Caleb Williams pick. They are like "His dad is going to be really pissed now"

I am not even sure I would want Williams over Bo Nix at this point.
In fairness to the kid he was missing two starters and a backup on the o-line.
Where the Bears failed was not running the ball. They really didn’t even try.

Well, I’ll be a monkeys uncle! Now we swung to one dimensional run game? Run game wins championships, as I’ve been spewing against all’s will for 2 decades. Now I like a good balanced offense! And Chop, I believe we have an advantage may be a NFCW championship ADVANTAGE.
Because we can pass, run, rpo and 3rd dimension of play action. It works it really does !

The run game is the engine of any offense with continuity and consistency. Sure wish we would have played preseason, could have been up bigger in the NFCW.

My point is that i am not sold on the belief that we can pass. I am not sold on Petzing. This came up because I said I was sold on our DC and HC. Let's enjoy the win.

The offense is very 1978 and it's awesome! I'm waiting for them to implement the Oline unison shift.

Yeah, that was really a mystery to me as to why they stopped running so early. It's not like we're the Iron Curtain.
