Are we playing the opposite of Wannyball? I fear we may be. What is even more unsettling is that we are doing it with Frerotte. At least when we played Wannyball, we had one of the best RBs in the game. Now we're playing the opposite style with a medicore at best QB. There is no way that Frerotte should have had 47 attempts. I know that the Patsies were really banged up in the secondary but 47 is way too high. What we are stilll lacking in the offense is balance. Now we seem to be throwing too often, before it was running too often, we lack balance. I also believe Linehan screwed the playcalling up on that last series in the redzone. How about some playaction passes to a TE or some crossing patterns? It should have gone more like this: -1st down, play action pass looking for the TE who faked the block and released into a pattern
-2nd down(if 1st doesnt work) RUN THE BALL, see what happens, maybe u get in, maybe it goes down to the 1
-3rd, if the run brouhgt it to the 1, pound the ball in or playaction to the FB in the flat
-4th get alot of traffic in the endzone, someone has to come free on a pattern OR if it is close to the goaline see #3

I dont agree with the 2 fades, I think they were absolutely AWFUL. That last series was all Linehans fault. I think in order for us to win, regardless of opponent, we need to be a 60% run/ 40% pass team. I hope the coaches start to implement some balance in the offense and play to our strenghts.
 
I think all of our coaches are knuckleheads.

Well not Hudson.
 
Hudson is great but eveeryone else blows

I dont think Linehan knows this is Miami not minnesota and Satan thinks he is at LSU
 
We're playing the Air version of Wannyball - Linehan relying on Frerotte / Chambers is the equivalent of Wanny running Travis Minus up the middle three times in a row for -2 yards.
 
No, they're not. They're still choking in big games and making stupid plays then pointing fingers JUST like Wannyball if you ask me.
 
It takes a real halfwit to shelf your best player week after week after week.

Sick of the coaches screwing us every game and then want to preach "the process" and "execution",....how about the damn play call. Get that right first and then we can worry about the GD process!!!
 
Lets do the math Ronnie Brown 14 carries, 64 yards, 4.57 yds/carry. End of the game 1st and goal from the 5, If we were to run Ronnie 4 times in a row, we would get 18.28 yards, we only needed 5 though. Its pretty explanatory.
 
So when we had Wanny, we wanted more passes

Now we have Saban and we want more running...I guess you can never please the fans....

That's a stat...he well could have gotten stuffed all four times. Highly unlikely, but it could have happened.

What I want is more balance, plain and simple.

:sleep:
Give us a break already with this crap. Its about utilizing your strength to win football games. That is as simple as anyone can get.

Are you telling me that the coaches have decided to do everything opposite Wanny even to the detriment of the team just because of the criticism he received? :rolleyes2
 
wanny ball was to run a guy I forget his name

O yea......

RICKY WILLIAMS but hey wanny dumb move he only got 1856 yards and 17 TDs haha
what we want as fins fans is to use our best player the most.

Defensiovly- Saban Has Thomas and Taylor out there every single play, why? they r the best players we have.

But on offense, he rather have Ricky than Ronnie it maks no sense
