Why do we forget to run once we are 15yrds away

[SR 7]

can someone explain to me why ever since saban and company has come into this organization, we DON'T RUN THE BALL once we are about 15 yards from the Endzone? as a result, ANOTHER INT ala today. why do we do this? didnt we learn last year from the mistakes in the beg. of the season? we just forget to run the ball once we hit the 15 yard line.

R.B. had a GREEEEAT game. 70 yards running and 52 catching and the way things look, RB is our leading reciever. that is PATHETIC. u dont have a rb leading that department. clearly shows the QB either isnt finding the WR's or the play calling isnt going to the WR for any plays otehr hten a 5 yard DINK which is ***** ball. whats the deal? wehre is Randy? wna call that man a play or keep him on the line as always due to fat pathetic linemen? I am tired of not passing the ball 15 yards or 10 yards in the air, over the middle, sidelines deep anything PERIOD.

Yeah, I noticed that too. And it pisses me off. I wish I didn't come to this thread to remind me about that.

Second week in a row that Ronnie Brown gets "back up" carries. RUN THE DAMN BALL. HE'S ONLY AVERAGING 4.6 YARDS PER CARRY. ****! It's pathetic, the play calling is pathetic.

This is probably the worst play calling I have seen in a long time. Run the football, c'mon man. I am so pissed. I completly agree, we should have ran the ball once we got to the 17 yard line at the end of the first half. I was so suprised. Also, what is up with culpepper man. Wow, to be honest I was hoping that saban would put Harrington in towards the end of the third quarter.

I am sick of passing the ball 5 yards and hoping for a 3 yard after the run gain. No passes past the 10 yard line, over the middle, slants, deep routes, or running the ball when ur gainin about 5 yards a carry. why do we always stop runnign? its as if saban donest have trust in his players. thats how it seems or else why would he fear to pass the ball? obvously there is something behind the lines. and why do we keep asking for a good back up for a 1 2 punch or givin RB 15 carries if he is the 2nd pick overall and a POWER back? we dindt fear RW but we do with RB? i dont understand this BS. if tha twas the case, we might as well picked up a BURNER so he can pull some Tatum bell runs if we wanted a 10 carry back.

Not to mention, where is the play action? If you want to burn them with the passing game, then rather than devoting 70% of your plays to it why not get 5-6 yards on a first down run and then play action pass on second when a run is hard to ignore? I've got to check the video from today, but I don't think I've seen play action more than once per game.
