    I mean seriously this boring as hell strategy with Andrews, Sankey, and mccluster as our running backs doesn't scare anyone. Neither is it as dynamic as the threats we have at qb and receivers. What's the most we have to lose this year? Let's open up the playbook and try and get more talented players involved.

    Yeah I agree I don't view our team as a run first team. 97 pass attempts vs 89 run attempts. And that's with Marcus only throwing 16 passes in week 1

    I think we need to feed Sankey as much as possible

    Andrews should be our starting RB, he can bully his way forwards better than anyone we have, and with this crap OLine thats a major plus.

    overall playcalling was 44 passes, 27 runs

    of course this was while trailing most of the day so its not going to reflect what Whiz came into the game planning to do...

    1st Q was 100% run which is predictable as hell. 4th Q stats are skewed by the fact that we blew a huge lead and were trying to rally for a comeback.
