Thread: Interesting Point of View As To Why Chargers Can't Run The Ball

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by Ihatearchie
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...3&sportCat= nfl Those 522 combined rushing yards did not come from power sets; on nearly every big run in the Jax-Flaming Thumbtacks contest, the offense was in a spread formation and the action was a draw play. Good blocking and sloppy tackling were the reasons for rushes of 89, 80, 79 and 52 yards. But tactical evolution was a reason, too. Not long ...

makes sense. Dielman and Vazquez seem better in space and having Manu in motion would eliminate the weekly offside penalty. Just gotta make sure LT can block on the blitz.

Insert NO or IND offense here

power running isn't dead. Using 1 game with 2 bad teams as an example is probably a great way to make a point. We've got 2 problems: We tip off our running plays by running only out of a couple sets. If Manu motions into the backfield, we're running. If VJ motions towards the line, we're running. If neither of those two things is happening, we're passing. We never play-action out of ...

I agree with that perspective, the game runs in cycles and right now I think it would be easier to run from a spread formation, especially with our OL.

Bellycheat do this very thing. They use the pass to set up the run and run out of the spread alot.

I agree with the premise. Look how well Spoles does running compared to LT. Yes his speed is a factor but it is mainly because when Sproles is on the field the defense is looking out for screens and passing more than when LT is out there. It seems when LT is out there the D goes conventional or loads the box.

Hmm, I wish we knew to which side L.T. was going to run."

I'll take winning any day over stats. But the fact is, Williams and Stewart at this point in their careers and this season are better than LT or DS. Panthers rank 3rd in rushing and Chargers are dead last. Stewart, a backup, has almost as many yards (384) as LT and DS combined (459). It doesn't change the fact that they're not winning, but it does mean they're better than our guys at rushing. I think most everyone knows LT...

Look what it did for Barry Sanders when he was in Detriot. They ran that 4 wide set and spread the field with him as the single back. The dude ran wild with that.
