The "air raid" is awful, just awful....

[Philly Dawg]

...what we are really doing is turning our running game into passing game and ending up with a very mediocre all around offense in total yards, yards per play, and points per game. We've made ourselves very predictable for nothing.

It’s hard to watch, proud of our defense.

It’s a ****** air raid. Seeing Issac Bruce made me think of those Rams teams that ran a version of the air raid. If the defense backed off like they do us they would carve you up with Faulk. We have no imagination in our run game, it’s like we don’t even try.

We can score 21 points in the 4th quarter and a touchdown in two plays when we actually throw down the field. Problem is our QB is scared to do it. When he has no choice all of a sudden people are open down the field (when the defense is even more setup to stop the deep ball). It's not a scheme problem. It's a personnel problem.

I’m not a fan. I’m sure it can be run better than we run right now but I don’t like it.

You are exactly right. But a lot of these Rogers apologists don’t want to see it

Coach 66 nailed one of our most predictable traits earlier. Our QB is no threat to hurt you with his legs and that coupled with the fact he's no more than an adequate passer really simplifies things for opposing defenses.

 

[coach66]

When the defense has absolutely no fear

Of the QB running it makes their job easy. We are easy to defend, bottom line.

Rogers is scared to death. Scared to run, scared to turn it loose. But he's also a terrible deep ball passer. Totally inaccurate down field. He missed guys all day.

 

[patdog]

You can’t be one dimensional these days. And we’re one dimensional. That’s the inconvenient truth. Leach will either adapt of he will fail and be fired.

 

[thatsbaseball]

That because all of his deep passes look like "Hail Mary's".

Have we ever had a really good deep throwing qb?

 

[thatsbaseball]

Yes but it was a looong time ago.....Dave Marler.

 

[Seinfeld]

OM showing us again tonight how big a difference it is when you have a QB who is also an occasional threat to run.

 

[coach66]

Yep Marler thee a beautiful ball and was a

Damn good punter too.

But it was cool in the 90s! Feels like we're in a time machine when i watch us play. kind of like watching the Gus bus. Couple of old coaches who think they're smarter than everybody else. Gus got away with it longer because he could buy better players.
