[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 173671, member: 431"] My take on this is simple. We haven't run it enough to run it well. MM is looking at that clipboard and see's what's working and says himself he SHOULD be calling the run more but is calling what's working. IF these guys we're not stout enough to run block I would think that would carry over even MORE in pass protection. If your not big enough or strong enough to hang in there they would be getting steamrolled in pass protection. Typically an offensive line is either good or not good but when I hear talk about a certain "0" line I very seldom hear they are very good at one thing and very lousy at another. I'm also not so sure this is all the offensive line. We all know the two guys with any experience went down right befor the season. Now MM has to decide if he wants to go two back with very little experience at either TB or FB. Will they pick up the pass protection package when they don't run it? How much of the playbook do they have command of? Can we get third down production out of a young guy now that Heron went down? Would it be smart to go two back offense when they could only realistically grasp half the plays? The bottom line question for Mike McCarthy so far has been "do I throw a two back formation in there and put them right in the fire or do I give the ball to Brett Favre?" He decided to go with Brett. Smart move. As the RB's get where they need to be to run a two back I'm sure we'll see it work. Until then who can *****? [/QUOTE]
