When the opponent puts SIX in the box, not EIGHT, to stop the run, why can't this inept offense run the ball? Even with the atricious O-line, James oughta be able to find some kind of crease with that few defenders.

Defenses are just daring this offense to run the ball, and the sad thing is you could put a junior high girls powder puff team out there on defense and this team would still average 2.5 yards a carry. :mad:

My guess is that six in the box is still one too many for our OL to handle. They get really confused when they have multiple tasks.

James averaged way over 2.5/carry against the Cowboys, because they were only using 5-6 in the box.

You have to account for the one Olineman that falls, or trips.

It is not the same guy all the time. It is always someone different but yet it seems at least one of them is on the ground the instant the ball snaps every time.

They suck that is the reason.
