To me the best way to show physicality is through the run game. If you want to be considered a tough team run the ball into the end zone when inside the 5 yard line. With the RBs on our team I don't think our running game can be stopped without the defense moving some guys up. When they do that it's play action time. Our offense will be fun to watch!! I guess what I'm saying is when the defense knows you're going to run the ball but is helpless to stop you is where I'd like to see us get to. The '72 Dolphin's had that going for them with Larry, Merc and Kiick. Of course, most of their oline is in the Hall Of Fame!!
Good point. Even as a fan, there's nothing more demoralizing as watching your team know the run is coming over and over and give up 7, 9, 5 yards, repeat.....brings back visions of the "Nigerian Nightmare" on MNF. What a fitting nickname.
