Flyin' In DC Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 After re-watching last weeks game I liked what I saw from the run blocking. Hawley, Asamoah and Blalock to me were stellar. I know our passing game is really good but so is the Bengals pass rush. I would love to see us leaning on our backs and short passing game/screens mostly this week. If Burfict is out this makes even more sense to me. Wear the down and 4th quarter is oursThoughts?Oh yeah and Toilolo can block like a beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 We won't go run heavy simply because we're never going to go run heavy. We're a pass first, second, and last team, and will be likely until Ryan retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Ravens had a lot of success against them running the ball, they just didn't do it enough. 68 attempts for Flacco was the reason they lost. I think it will depend on the flow of the game. I wouldn't mind if we started out running the ball. If we have success, it will bring the defense up and make it easier on our passing game. They have a solid secondary. And I think that will be their focus this week. So it's not a bad idea in theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I've been saying it on different threads, I strongly believe S.Jax is gonna have a big game. The best way to play that front 7 is to wear it down. It'll take some pressure of the tackles, and keep Matty from taking unnecessary hits.

PokerSteve Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think you have three main options. You start out trying to run the ball and get that established to run play-action off of, or, you start off passing to loosen up the defense and get the LB's off the LOS so you will have an easier time getting your run game established, or, you can go with option 3, which is let Ryan see what the Bengal D is gearing up to stop, then let him call run or pass play, whatever they're least prepared to defend. With the rules which favor the pass receivers over the pass defenders, coupled with Ryan's new-found mobility, I would start with the pass attack for a first down or two then I'd start mixing in running plays.

atowndsgb28 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't care who we're playing... I'd love to see us get a run game established. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysnill1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Whatever allows us to score consistently. I just want points, lots of points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I like what Miami did against New England last week. They had success running the ball from 4 wr sets in between the tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Can not run up the gut on them especially if Burfict plays....keep their secondary honest and on their heels and work some flats quik outs and whatever in space to Antone, Quizz and Free... do not run into the teeth of that D, take it outside, beat them in space... I hope Sjax only gets 5-6 totes Sunday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 No huddle from the off. Let Matt call the shots. Their corners can't handle our wide receivers and getting in HD and Hester against a tired defense would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doveboss26 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Pound the rock no doubt. But last week is who we are and we need to improve on it.We dictate the game and we don't need to try to pound the rock more than we need to just because they are the Bengals and don't have the offense the saints have.

NZFalcon Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Our main focus should be the Cincinnati Bengals and Batman Burfict and former Georgia Bulldog AJ Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
