Heres my suggestion to go back in time with....
If we wanted to be able to run against a team determined to stop our run its
simple Pass, Spread them out too. Giants are weakest in coverage. Thats why slants were called, but they were dropped-. If we were airing it out thats the time when we should draw. Instead Zorn would call draws or screens before we had them on their heels. Nothing deep was establiished. Teams would rather stack 7-8 b/c there is a better chance our OL breaks down, Campbell gets sacked, or our receivers won't make a play.
We do the same thing but we have faith in our DB's other teams are not that fortunate but we "Let them off the hook Denny Green" by not capitalizing when we have the ball. LET THEM GET FLAGGED FOR TOO MANY MEN ON THE FIELD. THEY CAN'T PUT 7-8 IN THE BOX IF WE HAVE 4 WIDE EVEN 4 WIDE AND COOLEY GOING OUT But when they do we choose to run anyhow and Its like I just read you say that is what we sshould be doing so I guess your upset b/c we didn't lose bad enough....I don't share those motives, I'd rather win.
So, your suggesting we just run think run Run team.
Well, when we are trailing and the game is winding down and we know we have no air attack we play into their hands on 3rd and longs b/c we have to pass, its too obvious, our WR's are doubled teamed. Running with guys in the box plays into their favor and suddenly our secret weapon of Sellers backfires and time gets away and we still punt before midfield.
I think ultimately you mean when we are winning and control the clock and can still keep the run game going its a great thing.
Take it back a few years, think of constant shuffles and poor productivity with Coaches,Cordinators,systems,QB's,and personal, i.e. Brunell's 5 yard vision, Ramsey sack issues, all the past pathetic WR's and teams live in the box and stack the line
Factor in NY DL needs no help, so 7-8 is more lethal something we have not on our team in effectiveness. Plus, Spagnolo can do his packages and trickery like we used to have with GWilliams or has Blatche's pure vanilla wiped all memory too?
Today was just all around bad. We are not a good team. Our season is over so the only matters now is that Sean is honored in the ring and we have the suffer the rest.wow thats long

whatever you want to think, thats fine. heres the whole argument, if you run the first two downs and its 3rd and 8 even, which is often at worst when we run on the first two downs, that is better than 3 and 8 after having passed on one of the first two downs....the reasoning behind that is this, the running game is process of wearing someone down. how many times do you hear that a running back is better in the 4th quarter? all the time. you stick with what works, maybe not play to play, but what has worked in the past and the present....thats running the football even if at certain times it doesnt look good, cause it only takes one to put the defense on skates....i would rather put the game in our oline and clinton portis's (or any of our backs) hands than in our oline and jason campbells hands...JC hasnt done anything in 2 and half years to prove he is worthy of that burden.
spreading them out? are you serious, when your qb is not a threat it does nothing......oh and we spread them out on that 4th and 1 play too, didnt work. rules on running short yardage, dont ever give it to the first guy through and always create a tight formation....reasons for this are long but all in all if you are relying on tricking people to get a yard then you dont need to call plays. didnt fool the giants wont fool the ravens.
balance? i agree to this but i believe balance for us comes after we have established at least a seed that we dont care if you stuff us we will run the ball again and again....then you can throw off that, its not throw to set up the run, thats for college football. its run to set up the pass. if you run consistently (attempts more than yards) your pass will be much better, esspecially given our QB and his delievery time.....he needs more time or we need a new qb, no offensive line could consistently block for campbell right now, i think hes not making quick decisions.
