lostnmexico Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 We all know that Freeman and Coleman have two very different running styles and the line seems to block differently for each back. We also really failed to establish the run today even though many runs were there. The zebras certainly helped Minnesot'a cause in that regard because it seems we got called for everything while they were allowed to turn the LOS into an MMA event!

caponine Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 honestly no , its Sark. You have to put both star rbs in a position to succeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird3 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 we cant blame sark for the poor execution. he has his faults but we are really tryna throw all our issues on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux_Falcons Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I honestly hate a 2 back system, but Shanny made it work. Sark actually started the game using our backs together, but went away from it. If we're not going to use them together, then I would rather just use one guy 70% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them are so dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domed Outter Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'm more concerned with Gabriel not being utilised in a more productive way. Coleman could maybe take some snaps from Gabriel at this rate, go two back sets and liven it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abstract Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Sark does not ride the hot hand like Shanahan did. I was infuriated every time Coleman ran on the last few series. Why take out freeman when he was only getting more and more effective as the game wore on? Those Coleman stuffs killed our momentum multiple times.

It is a coaches job to assure flawless execution or find players who can. this is the nfl players get paid on both sides. So what your saying is shanny should have benched players after halftime in seattle last year? or during the chargers and eagles game? It is sarks fault matt couldnt hit his targets today, or the bs calls. Now calling all these toss plays is different, but we cant put all our offensive struggles on sark anymore hes starting to get it together. And I was one of the first ones on his head with the playcalling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzfrow Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Most teams use at least two RB's. You can't just use one back anymore, you will put too many hits on them and they will have a shorter life span, kinda like what happened to Michael Turner. The problem is we are not the least bit creative with our running plays. The lack of creativity in all of our play calls this season has been staggering.

SARK is the responsable party for the offense...when its good and when its bad. It's his job and just like me, if I don't perform at work, I am gonna get called to the office and if the office thinks I cannot get it done, I get fired! Its SARKs job to assure offensive execution, and when the offense struggles, it rests clearly on his shoulders. Sorry dude. Guys got a job to do and if the players aren't doing theirs, then he's gotta make a change. My favorite quote from Marion Campbell: Those that want to play....play. Those that don't can get the he11 out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller2Rison Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Nothing wrong witb RBBC, we still did it when Freeman was out and had success, nothing wrong with fresh legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapAHolic Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 You’re not the only one. I made a similar thread a few weeks ago. Offense moves better and more consistently with Freeman and idk how people can’t see that. People are just so infatuated TeCo’s speed. Granted if Sark was better everything would be better.

octoslash Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The real problem today was Sark dropping all those passes and drawing all those penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that don't can get the he11 out! Ill throw a quote out there as well since that's the end all be all for discussion.. You can lead a horse to water but can't make em drink.. Sark can do everything right during the week but when it comes down to the play it's on the players on how they execute it and the effort they put in.. Yes it will 'fall on sark' but thats the player.. And if you think him using the next man up or less talented players will produce a better product you're crazy.. The depth chart is ordered that way for a reason.. I get what you are saying he may need to coach them differently during the week, which I'm not refuting or agreeing, but at the end of the day you can't put missed throws, dropped passes and ref calls all on Sark. If anything that falls on dq.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problema lies in the fact that we do not ride the hot hand as another poster mentioned. I love Coleman and would love to see him featured more in the passing game as a way to get touches but I think Freemen needs carries to get into a rythym as a RB. Maybe Coleman as well since last week he scored twice and went for around 100! I think the two backs can co exist but I think differing styles make it hard on the offensive line as one back is speed, the other is power.
