Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 is ball control. All 3 runningbacks can't hold onto the ball. TC needs to show them how to carry the ball high, like he showed Tiki. Also it seemed like Ward really didn't want to play last night. It looked to me like he was only going half speed. Other than that, great win. 8-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ball control was phenomenal, we had it for almost 40 minutes, compared to the Eagles 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaNJ Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think the biggest problem is the play calling... when the O-line and running backs are dominating, keep feeding them. When it is working that well it should always be a run on first down, until they start to bring both safties in then it is time for PLAY ACTION. Going into a shotgun or empty backfield on 1st and 10 should not even be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I sit Bradshaw's ass on the bench until somewhat gets hurt and/or he learns how to hold the ball. He had a fumbling problem in college, the coahces worked on it, and it's obviously come back. That's three times he's lost the ball this year. Ward and Jacobs are doing just fine.

I agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobs put the ball on the ground 2 or 3 times last night. All of the running backs had a problem holding on to the ball. Bradshaw's one fumble wasn't even a fumble, but Caughlin didn't review it because we were punting anyway. Then the Eagles jumped off side and it would have been a first down if we didn't lose the yardage on the non-fumble. His entire back was on the ground, but they called it a fumble.

I agree with that. I'm talking about taking away his carries. I don't want him carrying the ball anymore. Jacobs put the ball on the ground 2 or 3 times last night.

I don't want him carrying the ball anymore. you're being overly critical of him. his mistakes come from aggressive, smart play. the kid is special, he needs some work- he's being handled just right.

hlb37 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah. Was prolly too embarassing to call it "ball-handling." LOL. I prefer "ball security" but that might lead to a conversation about Hillary and the testicle lock box. what ever you want to call it though, we put the ball on the ground way to fucking much the last 2 weeks. If we do this against the Ravens Sunday we will lose the game. period. We are not going to keep getting away with this shit. All 3 of these guys need to clean up their respective acts or as far as I am concerned we can activate Droughns. Pardon my language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
