All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
When you are behind in games, you abandon the run. The games we have been ahead or close in, we have a solid running game. You don't run when you are behind and time is a factor.
As soon as you're down by 3, 4, or 7 in the first Q you completely abandon the run. It's difficult to come back when you trail by 4 points in the 1st Q.
I think 4th is being facetious.
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
Gee, for a team that supposedly is misusing it's running back so much, it's funny that Henry is the 4th rated RB in the AFC, and only trails George, Dillon, Tomlinson, Williams, and Holmes in number of carries.
I have to ask.. would anything make you happy Wys? You ***** about everything.
Travis Henry has the same YPC as Ricky Williams, yet Ricky Williams is over 16,000 in yards, AWM.
In games where Henry goes over 100 yards or 25+ carries, we're 4-2!
AWM....How many teams in the league use RB by committee? Eagles, Pitt, SF, Minn (beginning of season), Oakland (put Wheatley in the mix sometimes), so that takes away from individual carries and puts us 29th in the league in total rushing attempts.
Also, 2 games where Henry has had 6.0+ YPC against 2 of the better rush defenses in the league...(Miami, SD)
Maybe we can get Drew to add up all the times he's called a pass play at the line when a run was called in by Gilbride?
NOBODY takes into account that Drew does a tremendous amount of play changing. I bet Drew changes 2-3 running plays to pass plays a game (and probably even more when you note all the audibles he calls at the line). 2-3 running plays per game X 14 games most likely means the difference between Henry being the 4th rated RB in the league and possibly the 2nd.

Comparing Miami's running game to us is comparing apples to oranges. That was the ONLY form of offense they had!!
Miami had almost no passing game all season. Chambers was hurt for a significant time, Carter was a late addition that has only played 2 games or so. Gadson was hurt all season (IR). For a few weeks the Phins were STARTING 3rd dtring receivers!! And let's not forget that Fiedler was out for quite a bit of time and future Hall of Famer Ray Lucas was the QB
The only thing Miami had as far as offense WAS Ricky Williams, so of course he will have more yards and carries.
Originally posted by 4thAndLong AWM, Gilbride does most of the playcalling! He only gives Bledsoe the oppurtunity to change the play at the line.
And even if he is audibiling...How do you know he's changing it from a running play?
Gilbride is following his reputation as being a lousy OC.
WRONG!!!! A lousy OC was what we had last year. The players were all complaining about his play calling. This year the players have nothing but praise for Gilbride!!! How fast we all forget.....
