obviously meant shutdown. like what mcvay does to his running game.
Which brings up another point. If mcvay was serious about his running game, and serious enough to add some man/power blocking schemes for said running game, why not do more 12 personnel and really make the effort to run.
It's like me saying I'm gonna stop drinking and pour out all my beer but not my bourbon. Either commit to it or don't, but half assing it will not work.
I enjoyed both of your post, as always.
Ya, the stated "We're going to commit to the running game" is so off. I wish we'd do what we say instead of just saying what we do. It's hard to judge where we could be if we actually balanced our playcalling out. I feel there are a lot of folks who'd be showing out more if we'd stop shackling them to an overcommitted passing game. Our Oline isn't strong enough to stop the pass rush when the other team knows exactly what's coming at them every play. It just sucks when our worst enemy isn't the youth or the enemy defense, it's us.
