Chase..

[SoonerLou]

Said before that Chase is better on a pitch count.

He finishes those runs/plays with 1st downs if he was balanced better. He's not Kamara or McCaffrey. And thats OK!

We should have either given DJ a few carries or activated Eno to be a short yardage runner. Just mismanagement imo.

 

[SoonerLou]

28 touches (25 carries) for Chase is wayyyyy too much.

 

[SoonerLou]

Another reason why you have to use multiple RBs is because we have a tell sign.

Kyler has been on record that he gets tired after runs/long runs. So its almost an automatic RB handoff after he runs the ball. Running Chase into a pile just wears him down.

I don’t mind the workload, but the running up the middle constantly and not utilizing him in the passing game was the mistake. Would’ve liked to see more of 20 carries and 5 or so catches.

Kliff is beginning to strike me as incompetent so I am not surprised he thought of Chase as a work horse back.

Well there are several on this board that think he is. I've always thought he was a good change of pace kind of back.

Those fourth and short plays is why I like carrying a full back. Or a Cordell paterson type back, who runs with attitude.

You know...maybe try Strev. He looks strong, lol

Maybe we should call spencer ware or Lamar miller

With all that cover zero..... I would have loved to see a screen or two. Or 5.

#1 offense by yards/game coming into this week, 32nd 2 years ago. Nobody is perfect but complaining about the offense is a bit ridiculous at this point in time.

We havent run/executed a good screen since maybe Atlanta last year.

He’s not an every down back. Great compliment to Drake and that’s it. Surprised that Foster got the nod over Eno. Something’s up if he’s not even sniffing the field

 

[PJ1]

Love Chase but agree he needs to share the load. That is a tough D to run him into that many times. If you don't run DJ a few times they should have activated Eno. What if Edmonds got hurt?

 

[SoonerLou]

As much as I hate the call...if Chase just runs straight ahead its a 1st down.

Yeah, you’re right. That’s why he’s been using him like that since week one...

 

[Garthshort]

Problem for the coaches is that they must think that DJ isn't good at running and Eno isn't good at pass pro.

28 touches is a little heavy but he could handle 25. The problem was that more of his runs should have been short passes. He should have had 18 runs and 7 passes, whether they be shovels or short passes behind the LOS, or checkdowns. There was just no variety with him, even in the run game. It was almost exclusively inside runs.

Chase has never struck me as a rb you run 25 times in-between the tackles though

he didnt run 25 times in between the tackles... didnt even run 20 between the tackles. did you forget Drake is hurt and our primary back when healthy?

You gotta factor in all the times Kyler kept the ball as well. Thats extra hits that Chase is taking on those Kyler keepers.

So yea we should have tried to get him space, but we really should have given another RB a few plays as well.

Foster had 1 carry

I don't think this word means what you think it means.

The continuous miscues and debacles during the last 2 minutes by kliff say something else.

Granted he deserves the time to rectify that as he has been able to get the offense playing as a top 3 offense in nfl for 56 minutes of every game

Shouldnt pile on Kliff too much putting up 31 on a great defense.

Although I think he needs to start saving/developing late game plays. Just plays he's comfortable calling when things get tight. Think he overreacted to Kyler missing the 3rd and 1, but we need to have more in our bag.

I think with the way we go uptempo you can have Kyler just go no huddle for a drive or so calling his own plays during the middle of the games.

That way in high pressure moments Kliff can run some plays he's had saved up for the right time.
