Well, we are always talking about improving our 19pts per game right? We draft and acquire players to improve that. Therefore; it is rationale to look at areas where we can improve that, and I believer more production from our RBs could help. If you disagree, so be it. Thanks for the response.

Did I ever mention one game? I am talking a two-year trend.

Sure is; do you care to provide a rationale opinion? Just a conversation, no need to be snarky.

That's a great point; without going back to look; I would venture at least half if not more.

Ok; so you're going to avoid the point of the thread. All good.

Yes; but what if I told you we scored less rushing TDs in 2019 than we did in 2018. 15 total compared to 13.

Nope; honest question. Do you care to imply a rational response? Do you think this is an area where if got better production, we might be even better?

If you read my initial post; I'm not taking about one game. I'm talking over two years! Like I said, the Ravens have 28 rushing TDs to our 8 TDs outside of Lamar and Josh. I think two years is enough to establish a trend. I'm just saying if we can improve this area, how much better could we be? Is that a rationale question to ask or just an overreaction?

Ok, thanks.

Try answering the question as a whole? Do think this is sufficient?

Point of my inquiry is this? Everyone knows Lamar Jackson is a threat running the ball, just like Allen. But the Ravens got 14 rushing TDs in each 2018 and 2019 not counting Lamar's contribution. That's 28 TDs compared to our 8 in two years. If we could improve that, we would improve our PPG average in my opinion.

Certainly not saying that; are you satisfied with the RB production? Perhaps you are and that's fine. Just trying to have a conversation here.

I like that thought. There's a post about Allen being 91% of the offense, but do we really want that? Don't we want that down some and RB production up some?

Good Point. Do you think we have the right style of RB for the RPO system?

How much better could be we be if the RBs produced more; that's my point?

Can you think of any runs where our RBs are breaking away runs to even score? I can't think of any.

It has now been 37 games since the start of the 2018 season, and we have a grand total of 8 rushing TDs by our RBs (4 in 2018, 4 in 2019, and 0 so far in 2020). That is slightly less than 1 for every 4 games (1:4) and to me that is unsatisfactory, even if the QB averages 1 every two games (1:2). Hopefully Moss can help with that, but the lack of RB production is really holding this team back to a certain degree in my opinion. Additionally, TDs withstanding, do opposing defenses really fear our running game? This kind of goes back to some poster's thoughts on constantly running RPOs instead of some more designed leads, counters, etc. I think Dabol really needs to figure this out. Thoughts?

He certainly can spend more time, but he can make that throw; there's plenty of tape on him making it. The one against Miami from the endzone immediately comes to mind. He just missed the throws.

See, you're doing it right now. Point Made.

The hate stems from the whole Lamar Jackson disrespect in his draft process. Fair or not, Allen was the target for all the people who felt Lamar was disrespected in the draft process. Josh had nothing to do with the Lamar disrespect, but he was the target. You even see the hate transitioned to this board from posters like @C.Biscuit97 and others who always bring up Lamar when they get challenged on their criticism of Josh. Then the pre-draft tweets solidified their hate.

I know it's one game, but all offseason, everybody was saying Josh needs to take another step. If today's game wasn't a step forward, then he'll never succeed here and with this fanbase.

Come Dabol; we dont' need that.

Damn it Beasley

That's why you don't cut Trent Murphy

Where are all Allen haters!!!!
