A Chad Pennington offense is going to rely on time, there is no doubt about that. Most the routes are going to be short, quick passes. RBs and TEs are going to catch a lot of passes, another fact I've accepted.
But what I will not accept is the constant motions, the lack of touches for Ronnie and Ricky, and the wildcat...in general.
Ronnie needs to be our feature back.
At this point in the season, we have absolutely no idea what to expect from this offense from week to week. Ronnie Brown, a player most of us hope would make his first pro bowl appearance, is not being featured the right way. Noticed i said 'the right way' because he is being featured. Ronnie needs to be getting 15-20 carries. Hard earned up the middle carries. Not runs up the middle from the Wildcat, not sweeps that are handed to him while hes running in motion, and not draws from the shotgun. Ronnie needs the ball up the middle with a fullback in front him. Simple as that.
Overall, we need to run the ball more.
We have Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, two of this franchises greatest RBs to ever sport our uniforms. At first it was cool seeing something new with our offense with the wildcat, now all i want is to see is a 30 carry game from Ronnie. We got the talent and the beef to move the ball on the ground, we need to use it. 17 carries for these two will not cut it.
Pennington has to give our WRs a chance
How well did our offense move the ball at the end of the game when Pennington threw caution to the wind and just started slinging it all over the field? The two big passes to Ginn were absolute eye openers. They were well covered plays, but Ginn brought them both in easily. So why aren't we doing that more often? Camarillo gets passes thrown his way all game, but hes the only one. Bess and Ginn have to wait all day for a pass to come there way. Maybe this is play calling, Maybe it's Pennington, but whatever is, the more I see from our WRs, the more convinced I am that this system isn't giving them a chance.
Our secondary sucks.
No really, it sucks.
Props
Give it up to Joey Porter out there guys. When we traded Taylor, i figured it'd be a long long time before we got another double digit sack man in Miami. Joey Porter has smashed that thinking to peices. I'm happy hes here, and he's earned his pay this year IMO.
Passblocking: 1 sack to the ravens. That's impressive. Especially cause we couldn't run it and we were passing all over the place. Jake Long, Justim Smiley, Samson Satele, Ike Ndukwe, and Vernon Carey all deserve props for their pass blocking out there today.
All in all, we're still a better team this year than we were a year ago. Losing sucks, but I'm not surprised we're not playoff bound either. This ship will take time to turn around. Just try to enjoy the ride fellow fans.
