It's a good question. 

There are a few answer attempts 

• DeFilippo is still figuring out his offensive roster within his scheme to a degree (but it's time for eval to be over now)
  
• Watching all of Fournette's runs from Thursday, on all but four of them he was totally doomed by his o-line - he's not blameless - but it was ugly up front in that game. Really ugly. 
  
• There needs to be a come-to-Jesus sit down between Flip, Marrone, and Warhop to figure out some run-blocking changes. What they are doing is NOT working. 
  
• I think it's only a matter of time before Flip sees the need to spell 27 and give defenses a different look out of the backfield (I hope that time is less than 8 days) 
  

I hope your're right because it leaves me completely baffled.  Watching our run game reminds me of a 12-year-old playing a video game; how can the OC of a professional sports team be so utterly obtuse? Furthermore, why is he allowed to continue to do that? Shouldn't Marrone, at some point, suggest to Flip that, maybe, um, you know, try something else? It's maddening.
