[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 639298, member: 10086"] I'm honestly not trying to toot my own horn because I have as many wrong predictions as I do correct ones.. With that being said, I have been harping much of the year about getting the RBs more involved in our short passing game. We have had much success in that area IMO. These plays are high probability (short yardage) and they are generally a quick option under a heavy pass rush, so theses passes have a dual effect of also protecting Aaron. This isn't meant to be "the answer" to all our problems but it does utilize the strength of our RBs in letting them "run downfield". Everyone knows Lacy is dangerous at the second level.. Then Let's get him there more often! Everyone knows if you give Starks a couple of yards and a blocker he is formidable at attacking downfield Utilizing our strengths and mitigating damage from our weekness is part of the play calling also and has a high degree of swinging the momentum pendulum in the right direction. I guess what I'm trying to say is we too often try to force the running game rather than taking what the opponent is giving us. I am in agreement with MM in that we are underutilizing the rushing attack, but we have 4 quarters do get it done and sometimes throwing the ball on 1st down is a better option (especially when we are only getting 0-2 yards so often anyway. Sometimes ramping the running game as the game goes on is a better option than running 12 of the 1st 20 plays of game etc... If a novice fan like me can see this, I'm quite sure an opposing DC is all over it. [/QUOTE]
