Defense just got a nice breather and hopefully now they are ready to chase Brissett.

I like Singletary and love to see us run with him but I'll admit it's possible we could really have something with Cook. Again run either of them. Just run more but Cook might be the extra gear back we have been looking for.

It''s not like everyone in the world wasn't saying we should run more weeks ago.

Just keep pounding the rock.

It would be interensting to see how many of our drives without a rush score TD's vs drives with running plays. We go to long without running the ball sometimes. The last couple of drives are great examples. Only thing stopping us when we mix it up are penalties.

nevermind

Run the ball and play defense. Let Josh earn his paycheck on 3rd down if we have to throw.

So the refs do know what a face mask penalty is!

It's almost like (minus the penalties) we could just run the ball and make a few critical throws and win this game. Crazy. Run the ball and play defense. Save throwing it every play for when you need to.

I hope they don't wait until the last 2 minutes of the second half to get the rb's more than 2 or 3 carries.

Give the RB some carries and you get TD drives. Throw 95 percent of the time and you get predictable.

2 rb carries all first half pretty much says just meet at the QB and you can stop this offense. OMG ..........a running play.

Hoodie has won almost as many games as we have last year and this year and he's got an offense full of nobodies and a second year QB who will never be Allen.

Has he been playing football since he was 8 .......... probably. Should have heard it a few times by now.

I'd always take defense in coaching. QB's like Allen can create offense and there's a number of OC who could score points with Allen. What Belichick would bring is probably the best defensive mind to ever coach and a generally well coached mistake free team. He generally doesn't have a team that fumbles in there own end zone or players that don't know to knock a ball down on 4th and 18 so that the WR doesn't catch it. Team also don't run for 100 yards on him on a regular basis.

he didn't do squat with all 4 of his carries!

What the hell are you talking about? Tell me they give him carries on 3rd down all the time and I know you are full of crap.

So he had 13 carries and only 4 were in the second half so 9 in the first half. He had 6 carries and 2 TD's in the first quarter and you just stop running the football because he has 2 or 3 carries that aren't big runs? Henry had 19 carries for 53 yards. Guess the Titans should bench him.

and our offense spotted them a TD

Henry 19 carries 53 yards. You think they are going to stop giving him the ball? I'm not saying any of our RB's are Henry or that they need 20 carries but if they get 10 carries in the first half and we are leading by several scores they should probably get more than 2 or 3 more carries in the second half.

So then I would only have to listen to it

When McDermott first got here we had a scoring offense and couldn't stop teams. They went completely vanilla, no wr's, and ground thier way into the playoffs with Taylor. I was thinking if we could score some points McDermott would be our Belichick and this QB could be our Brady. Well we have plenty of story left to be written but Allen needs to work on ball security to be our Brady and McDermott needs to get this defense back to putting fear into teams and making less mistakes. No doubt I believe we have the players and coaches to win anywhere against anyone but it is little consolation when week after week you are just beating yourself.

It looks like we carried the ball 5 tiimes for 20 something yards. I'm fine with that. Just keep running the ball once in a while and keep teams honest. We didn't lose the game because we can't run the ball. I almost garauntee that we'll never lose a game because we can't run the ball. The point is that if we never even try teams will find a way to get to Josh faster because we don't even try to run.

You are right. That said when Josh gets back to normal I'll stop complaining about him throwing interruptions.

He had 4 carries in the second half (3 of those in the 3rd quarter) so I don't know what you are talking about.
