Coach55 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I know this is not Bills related, nor am I a fan, but just on observation with Navy this year. They have run the ball 596 times vs only 73 passes, that translates to 60 runs vs. 7 pass attempts per game. When they beat Wake Forest earlier this year, they ran the ball 61 times vs. 0 passes (not a misprint). At 7-3, they are not doing that shabby.

Coach55 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Totally different.........NFL = distrubition.........running, Passing, defense and special teams..... Not going to argue that. I also would not want to sit and watch a run only game. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 NFL is a passing game now. Running is important for sure but you need to pass somewhat in the nfl. players and coaches are too good for teams to just run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT is ranked 7th in the BCS with their triple option attack. Flordia (#1 BCS) runs a variation of the triple option and is the #1 rushing team in the country. Alabama can run on anyone and is ranked #2 in the BCS. Teams simply cannot exceed without the run for long. Now draft me some more lineman like Wood and give it to Lynch and Jackson 40+ times a game.
