Reasons the running game suffered:
1. D coordinator are committing to stopping the run because they are comfortable with our limited passing game. We don't have speed with garçon and grant, so they don't have to play over the top.
2. Alfmo has not been good. You would think a power back would be a fit with Callahan, I'm a little lost.
3. Luavo injury hurt the run game. Our centers are effing terrible in the run game...Kory l was terrible, mcrib isn't much better.
I think my answer to help the run game...get d jax back healthy and make Matt jones the feature back with Chris Thompson getting an expanding role.

Respectfully disagree with a couple of points.
I think Long has been ok after the 1st game he started. Kory started against Miami and the Rams.
Carrier has been getting killed in the run game, although I thought he was serviceable last game. I'm still not sure McCoy should be on the field at all.
After week 2, everyone on here including me was singing the praises of Callahan. A few posters even called for him to replace Gruden.
Haven't seen a pro Callahan post since the week after the Rams game (I'm not saying one doesn't exist).
How much blame should he get? He got all the credit when it worked.
If not him, then who? Gruden, McVay?
OL, TE, WR, the RB themselves?
EDIT:
Nm, as soon as I posted I realized it's all Gruden's fault.
