With 19 carries or more, the Packers are 9 wins and 4 losses.

More carries = more likely to win.

Time to run the ball more. It gives the OL a chance to smack around, instead of being smacked around and the DL won't be able to tee-off on us in the later portions of the game.

I think whats limiting grant's success is the amount of holes created by the offensive line... no?

Name one RB in the league that doesn't do better the longer the game goes on? They all do.

There are very few RB that can run through a wall, and that is what has been in front of grant the most time. We are stuck with it for this year yet, but it is time to shitcan the ZBS. Hasn't worked when if first came, hasn't developed, and isn't working with the adjustments this year.

If people are still going to claim that Grant goes down too easy, please enlighten me about those plays this season so far. I've seen nothing but Grant running hard, driving his legs after contact and making tough yards, much improved from last year. If it's just joking that's fine as well, just silly right now to claim Grant isn't playing well right now. Give him more carries, even if it's only 3.0-3.5 per carry, that's enough for PA to get setup.

Marion Barber gets horrible in the 4th quarter, that's why they use Jones as much as they can because Barber gets gassed as the game goes on 🙂 Was some surprising stats about his 4th quarters of only around 3.0 yards per carry.

At any rate, couldn't agree more about the blocking scheme. It seems our RBs and TEs get just as good of blocks only chipping as the lineman do hunting the block out. I don't know if it's as much about the scheme as much as physicality, it seems we get very few plys where we are pushing the line of scrimmage down field. And maybe the ZBS is even less suited for physcial lineman, though I thought it was more about athleticism. Possible that we don't have the talent up front for any run blocking scheme?

That's another one of those bs stats.

When you pass a lot, it's often because the other team has the lead. When you run a lot, it's often because you have the lead and you're wearing them down and/or running out the clock.

Brandon Jackson is not, and won't be a feature back in the NFL.

    Zero2Cool (1h) : QB coach Sean Mannion
    Zero2Cool (2h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington
    dfosterf (4h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport
    dfosterf (4h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft
    dfosterf (4h) : So eeri
    Mucky Tundra (8h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
    beast (9h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
    beast (9h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
    Mucky Tundra (9h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
    beast (12h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
    Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal
    Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

    TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later
    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
    TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL
    Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over
    beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs
    Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,
    beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
    beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
    Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
    Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
    Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
    Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!
    beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋
    Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
    dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
    beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
    Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
    Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
    beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
    beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

    wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
