Young Falcon Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Could our run defense be suffering because we lack a power run game ourselves? I mean the defense faces our offense in practice almost every day, and being that we are a passing team then that leaves little run defense reps for the D.

OC Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Possibly, but most of our defensive run woes come from runners evading arm tackles, which allot for big runs & drive up the stats. That, and they aren't allowed to practice tackling as frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where every single long run has come from they've given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a good push and Ivory doesn't score and actually ends the play with a loss. Then there was Dunta just kinda running along side of him like they are best buds.
