We ran the ball

[bobblehead]

Ok, we ran it ineffectively, but by committing to it, we kept the defense off balance and wore them down. Play actions worked better, the giants had to honor it, and we put up 45 points.

We even ran it more than I thought we should have...27 carries if I remember correctly. Go MM, as long as we keep D's off balance we can run this thing.

Who? Jackson?

No MM with his play calling. :)

Yeah. OK. My main point with McCarthy is that the past doesn't EVER predict the future. :)

I was thrilled with 27 runs. Next week, we'll get 3. You just never know. ;)

I doubt it. Three weeks out of four the Packers have run the ball quite a bit. The one game where they didn't, against the Lions, it's hard to blame him for abandoning the run given the play of the offensive line.

But you miss my point. We didn't run the ball all that well sunday either. 33 carries for 93 yards after I just looked it up....2.81 per tote. But we stuck with it and wore them down. We play actioned off it for big gains. As I've always said you HAVE to run more than 13 times a game. Go back and look at all our losses this year and you will see a lot of 15 and under carry games.

just looked...against the lions we have 15 carries for 31 yards.

I have said all year all we need is 80 yards on the ground and we should win.

this...but even less shotgun (and don't have a fullback-dive-brain-lock on 1st and goal).

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

You spotted it - crappy song, no doubt!
