Quote:We went to passes later in the game after going into panic mode.  If you rewatch the 1st half you'll see we actually went conservative late in the 1st half going up by 17.

 

Fisch was stubborn calling the run and we ran more times to the right than we did up the middle or to the left combined and had the lowest average (1.5 YPC to the right).  Why in the world would an O-Coord call the most runs to the weakest part of his line?  I don't know but it sure didn't make sense.

 

I will also offer that Beadles is not impressive so who knows...maybe Fisch isn't confident running behind him, nor should he be based on what I saw.

I did not break down the run in terms of left-middle-right distribution, so I defer to your analysis on that (good job, BTW).  However, that analysis does not answer the question of how the play calling was ultra conservative in the 2nd half, considering the first three drives netted a 1/8 run/pass ratio.  Examining whether the team ran left-middle-right on the ONE running play in the first three possessions of the second half doesn't tell us whether or how the team got conservative during that time.
