I agree 100%

jaxdolfan said:I'd like to stick with Minor and let Henry or Russell spell him or be 3rd down backs. That is just wishful thinking. It simply will not work in our current scheme. The Norv Turner scheme requires that you pound the ball to open up the passing game. That is what Wanny is sticking with this season, and it is too late to install another scheme. I also believe that Wanny is inflexible and will end up sticking Minor in there, or Mack or whomever and run them straight into 8 defenders on 7 out of 10 plays.
I think what you guys are wanting is to use Minor in a slightly different role as Ricky's. Use him like Buffalo did Travis Henry...Lots of runs around the corners and swing passes against man coverage (like the Jets and Bills shredded us with,) and lots of quick passes against zone. A few runs up the middle to keep them honest, but basically new playcalling.
I doubt we'll see it. It just isn't in Wanny's philosophy to change his gameplan to suit his personnel. We'll see the same plays and all we can hope for is that Feely can finally connect on the few longballs that are called.
