Run the Ball

[Gaphinfan]

I like Scott Linehan, but he will not stick to the run. There is no reason why gus should be throwing 30+ times a game. Pound the ball with ricky and Ronnie let them get 15 to 18 carries each.

I see the games going like this: first Quarter little scoring(miami scoring 3 to 7 points) with about 20 to 30 yds rushing. Come second third, and fourth quarter the defense gets tired, the holes open up, and big runs start to come.

Linehan is too pass happy, he thinks he throws off the other team by starting off passing the ball a lot. Guess what, they have figured it out.

IT looked good against Denver and Carolina, but we need to use the talent we have.

I would like if Ronnie would get 21-26 carries a game and the rest of the distribution to the pass, it will be fair to ronnie and the team

I don't think Linehan is too pass happy, it is just that when the offense gets the ball, we are usually done by a few scores. To try and get back on track and score quickly, you have to pass.

I do agree we have to run the ball more. We just need the Defense to stop giving up long time consuming drives.

wrong wrong wrong. i say we stick with a bad qb and make his success the focal point of our offense.

i say the fins should abandon the run and instead call passing plays they know will never work

the defense has been a little weak.

Actually i wouldnt say we are always down by a lot so we have to Pass all the time. Look at the Kansas City game:

7-0
7-3
14-3
14-6
14-13
21-13 (half way through third quarter...around that)

There is no point why we should have ever abandoned the run till the end (ish) of the 3rd quarter.

please god I agree with Ga phinfan. I dont care if we go down 7-0 in the first 10 seconds of the game. we need to get our RB's at least 30-35 carries a game and get some balance.

You can say the D has been weak, but our offense is not keeping them off the field!
