We were 31st in running the football in '05.
We went from 62 QB pressures to 106 last year.
In one year we went from one of the top rushing offenses to one of the worst with the only personnel changes being at guard.
In the first 6 games before we were totally decimated by injury we were 1-5 and averaged 62 yds per game running the football.
In the 6th game against the Vikes we got 45yds rushing against a team that was absolutely horrible to that point allowing 161.4 yds rushing.
One of our bread and butter plays, the toss left, that has gotten AG a zillion yards in the past, probably lost yards in'05.
How many times did we see a running back take a hand off and get hit in the backfield?
How many times did you see our guards turn in or turn out to help inside or outside only to see a LB, DB, or, stunting lineman come straight in behind them and straight at BF?
Yes, when you put your tightend, fullback, and tailback in, it is a running formation, but 31 other teams have the same formation in which they run out of. It's just that 30 of them EXECUTED better than we did.
Anyone in here that thinks our guards ar "o.k" must also be "o.k." with a 4-12 record cause that's about what you can expect if we don't replace both of them next season, OR, there going to have play WAY better than what they showed this last year.
