If Ronnie had 25-30 carries

[Canadianfishfan]

I believe if Ronnie had 25-30 carries i believe we win this game. daunte is proven not to be his old self at the moment. All the best backs get the rock. The pound the ball. Daunte was supposed to be our verticle saviour... He cant even hold onto the dame ball?
Lets take the game out of Dauntes hands .. and give it to our #2 draft pick. Its time we let him shoulder the load. Puts less pressure on the O-line to protect. Brown is a bruiser. he plows into guys... he made some realy nice hard runs.. and squirts out on the other side of the pile for a few extra yards more than not.
With With Ronnie.. and Suggs... let them create the environment to pass. because we've proven we can run, and we've proven we cant pass.

I cant say we would have won for sure but it was unbelievable that the completly abandoned the run after the game was 10-0. It was only 10 points! Are offensive philosophy was that of a team down by 30 points.

The Bills were smart enough to know not to ask Losman to win the game and they pounded the rock. We're asking Cpep to rush back, get accustomed to his teamates, and win games with his arm all at once. Bad Idea. Ronnie is damn good and he's ready....................

There is no good excuse to have Ronnie carry the ball less than 20 times a game.

He can take the pounding and having the carries allows him to get into a rhythm and start wearing the defense down.

The running game is our offensive strength right now...Mularkey is treating it like it's the weak link of the team!

hes easily the most productive guy we have... besides welker.... Just let him run... we dont need to try and let our QBs win the game.

Agreed.

 

[Majpain]

Yes well Murlarkey cant figure that out yet. He think 15 carries is enough...

 

[spydertl79]

I think we need a permanent no huddle offense.

This is a great thread.

We should start relying more on Ronnie to wear down defenses. Our ENTIRE OFFENSE should try beating up teams early with the RUN. Bang the opposing defense up some and then burn them in the passing game. I like it.

Sure but Mularky hates running backs.

Last years attempts for McGahee (keep in mind Mularky took the play calling away from Clements somewhere around mid season, they never announced it but it eventually leaked out):

22
13
27
16
29
31
16
31
20
10
21
27 (against you guys)
8
9
23
22

He also had a nasty habit of not running in the second half.

 

[Brown42000]

If he had that many carries he would have easily run for 150+ yards today

Yikes... every good back needs a min of 25 carries.... even Mcgahee for you guys didnt get the rock that much.

If this is true, Saban is going to have to get in Mularkey's ear about running Ronnie more. The guy should be getting 20+ carries a game on average.

I hope to god we fire Murlarkey.
