This elementary NFL coaching matter. Your coaching staff should be well-educated enough to understand you must maintain the balance between rushing the football and passing the football.

 

Ok You picked last year, and MJD was hurt, and you picked this year where he was averaging less than 3 yards a carry.

Then you picked up again in 1996???

Kind of missed Drew's entire career didn't you?

Talk about picking and choosing stats, holy cow!

Not hard to debunk this when you didn't even give us the prime years Maurice played!

 

#1, I have no problem passing 60% of the time. That is still Committed to the run, but it is a passing league in case you didnt notice.

However, I do believe we have averaged more running during Drew's career than the NFL average or at least right at the average.

We certainly have not been an air it out team for the last 10 years, or did you miss the whole JDR 3 yards and a cloud of dust era?
