We can't seem to run behind the right side at all right now. Not sure if that's due to Thomas or Heyer, or both.

It's frustrating. I'd like to see more sweeps/tosses. I understand we can't use them all the time, but it seems like Portis is always good for at least 7 or 8 when we do. We used it 2 or 3 times today and got great yardage.

I think it's because of Heyer. He is technically awesome and is really good in pass coverage, but he just can't move bodies in the running game.

This is something I'll try to cover when I do the game review this Thursday.

I wish I could do it sooner, but this school week is going to be brutal.

Doesn't it seem like most of the time we run to the right, the backside pursuit is making the tackle? I'm not sure whose responsibility that is, or if it falls on Portis for being indecisive. Just something I've noticed.

When Jansen came in, it seems as if the problem of going right with the run was resolved. Or was that not the case? Jansen was down field making blocks.
