Re: The New Running Game?
Another thing they needed, and got, to make the strech / gap plays work is more speed on the line. Last year our lineman just had to little speed to get out onto the linebackers. Also, Portis had to wait longer on the slower lineman. This is a key reason we brought in Rabach. Now, we have Jansen and Raybach getting out faster than Raymer and Brown. This will make a big difference over the course of a game / season.
Schneed10, you make a good point about the playaction being recognized. I am sure that Gibbs will find ways to design things to make it less obvious. With the speed Portis has he might be gone before they realize what play we called.
