We probably need to give James and Ryan a few more touches. I'm being honest here. I thought James ran the ball really well. Ryan had a couple of really nice runs as well. It's nice to have that balance and to rush for over 100 yards again. This is going to be something we're going to need to do moving forward.

I don't know if I mean it 100 percent, but when those guys are running the ball the way they are ... I think those guys need more touches. Now, it just depends on the flow of the game. Today, we pretty much got the ball after three plays in the first quarter and we were down 13-0 and we were trying to find a rhythm. … So a lot of those calls were situational calls that don't give us a lot of opportunities to run the ball in normal down and distance situations. I think we need to get those guys a couple more touches when necessary. And if we keep throwing the ball effectively, it should give them good opportunities.

I do think we need to run more.

And we need to pass more.

We need more plays, period. Carolina completely dominated ToP that game. We didn't have enough plays. That was more a fault of the D than the O playcalling.

There's no question that the four turnovers played a huge role in the outcome. It would have also been a huge help to replace some of those FGs with TDs. That said, the defense gave up a huge volume of yards. I think that's the substance of what Zombie is saying, and I agree. I don't think we can depend on turnovers every game. We could use more of the good ol' fashioned making the other team punt.

Randall Cobb losing the ball before the offense could even start their first possession didn't help either, so STs gets part of the blame too.
