Run the ball ba run the ball

[THESMEL]

never seen the game I'm out gold mining off the grid - but still see 20 rushes to 51 passes - lucky we won with the only TD in overtime.

 

[WindCardinal]

Well that’s a great idea until nobody can gain any yards behind this terrible line. Pff just ranked us 31st. I’m surprised it’s not 32nd

Need an Oline.

Criticizing the playcalling in games you aren't watching. You've reached a new low ya dingus. We cant run dude, our Oline is aweful and our stud running back is injured.

How exactly do we propose we do that or are you simply just Trolling?

Now that CJ has ditched the gold soul shoes he seems faster. Carrying 20lbs of gold on the bottom of each foot was really slowing him down. Heck, his receiving yards really picked up against SF.

But yeah, like others have mentioned the Oline ain't doing squat for the run game.

I was unable to see how much speed Chris Johnson no longer has because dude was getting hit in the backfield more often than not... sort of like trying to drive a Porsche with the garage door still closed when backing out

I remember a movie like that, haha - I expect more reruns than runs - yes you can expect me to bring this up, again and again - we can't run because of bad coaching that don't give a crap about the run - even with DJ I expected him to get 20 passes and 10 runs if he got 30 touches - it's just stupid folks - no Matter what you call me - it's fundamentally flawed football. Mo rb could succeed in this game plan- no online or qb either.

Yep I am - never watched it, but sure it would happen just like every game that has 20 runs and 51 passes - this ain't even close to my low point. We can't run because our coach does not have this team ready to play NFL football, what exactly is a dingus? I propose we practice and prepare to run the ball, and actually execute a sane game plan. Need a rb whisperer

 

[pmacLean]

this whole thread is crazy... you are NOT going to run anywhere unless your o-line (or even just parts of it) are functioning at a passable level, at the very least.... all these statements of 'our stud RB is out" are laughable.... DJ wouldn't be able to run behind this non-existent o-line... just forget it... ain't gonna happen ...

Not able to run the ball is a horribly mismanaged football team, might as well just take away their coach card. Anybody that thinks it's ok too- it's not ok - it sucks - but 13 carries by your lead back is just stupid -

I fully agree one needs to run the ball, even more so because defenses are set to stop the pass but be it talent or coaching, it just won't be happening with this line. We might not have David Johnson but we still have backs which could run the ball if we had just an average run blocking line but if it is a question of talent, even lesser talent can work if it's not the coaching and they can learn to be greater than a sum of their parts while working as one unit... but that will not happen if we keep switching the line up week to week according to our often injured players in my opinion

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

The RB's on the roster are nearly as bad as the OL. That doesn't make for much of a run game. Williams is no good, CJ is old, Penny is slow, and Ellington like to emulate JJ Arrington.

If I was the Cards, I would NO a 7th round pick and see if they could AP in here until DJ gets backs in the mix. It won't happen but it's something they should explore.

#1 - I agree with you

#2 - If you saw the game, you would see why they are not running the ball. Imagine a cat ball toy trying to knock over a steel wall.

Running the ball takes a certain smash mouth mentality and a true commitment from the coaching staff. The Cardinals remain a pass happy offense that is not geared to make a greater commitment to the running game. To run the ball well in the NFL these days you need mauler tackles and athletic guards who can pull, trap, slip to the second level, influence and seal. Mike Iupati can do all of that, but he's on the IR. The other guards and centers are too slow, although Earl Watford and Daniel Munyer might be upgrades. But, the coaches seemed locked in on Shipley and Boehm, which, again, limits the diversity of the running game. Plus, the Cardinals never seem to block the other team's best linebackers because the G-C-G trio get tied up by DTs inside and the refusal to play a FB means that the coaches hope to block the LBs from the side by the TEs and slot WRs. LBs today are too quick and elusive to be blocked from the side. The best way to block the LB is to isolate a FB straight on him...which either backs him off by a step or forces the LB to give himself up.

Bill Belichick and his 5 super bowl rings, as a head coach disagree with you.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

yes you can expect me to bring this up, again and again

That is cool.

And expect me to tell you, that what you are looking for does not happen in the NFL, or any organized football in this day and age, again, and again. You have every right to continue to beat said drum, but people have every right to take your idea, and tell you why it is not going to happen.

Just sayin'

For all the time you spend repeating the same rhetoric, take that time and look at the numbers and the stats of football over the last 10 years, and you will see, that what you are looking for does not exist.

You can complain about coaches being stubborn, but in return you are pretty stubborn in your beliefs that teams should run the ball like it is the year 2000.

And for the billionth, time I will say, I am a proponent of running the ball. I think if a team can figure out how to run the ball effectively in the NFL, said team would be borderline unstoppable against the smaller defenses put out on the field. I WANT to support more running in the NFL, and on the Cardinals. I would love for that to happen. But, unfortunately, the talent is not there to do so, the coaching is not there to do so, the new NFL rules are setup against this, etc., etc., etc.

Furthermore, as spread offenses continue to grow in the lower rungs of football, pretty soon there will be no coaches that know how to coach what football was 10 to 15 years ago.

Combination of the college game, and the classic NFL coaches retiring is going to create a take over, and the spread offenses, and option offense will come into the NFL because that will be all that is known.

So, sure the Cardinals can run the ball more, and they can lose more too. They do not have the running backs or the offensive line to have any success.

Nothing is gain when the threat of the run is risking a 3 yard pick up at best.

 

[gmabel830]

I can understand being frustrated if we are running the ball effectively and abandon it in a close game, but in this case the official box score was 22 rushes for 51 yards... it just wasn't effective to keep running it. And, it's not like Carson has time for effective play action on a consistent basis given how poor the protection is.

The defensive line is in our backfield in a half of second, no holes and our OL is terrible. We cannot run the ball. Even if we had DJ, we cannot run the ball. Hopefully we get more OL back from injury this week. We are desperate.

Yep dead on Rugby. The game is different & Thesmel thinks the wishbone is still alive & the way to win. Wrong!!! The majority of NFL teams pass the rock 60%+ of the time.

It's hard to run when your Oline sucks & can't open holes. The only way the Cards can run the ball with any success right now is with small mouse in the backfield because that's about the size of holes they open up

 

[oaken1]

run the ball with who smelly?? and behind WHO??

the only person who will be running behind our line is Palmer...and you can tell by the way he starts to lean forward right before he gets blasted
