Superman Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Don't do that. I'm not a Donald Brown hater so you don't have to say the only reason I have my opinion is because of a bias against him. Vick Ballard ran straight to the hole (even when they weren't there.) Donald Brown kept hopping and skipping before he went up field. Most coaches teach you to make a quick cut and get up field. I don't know how many more yards Brown would've gained had he hit the hole hard, but it certainly didn't help him. There was a definite difference in running style between the 2 backs.Looking at that statistic and ignoring how said player runs is ignoring a key factor in that statistic.My question is simple though: What difference does it make? Vick Ballard is a far more decisive and fluid runner than Brown. I'm a big Ballard fan. But he and his superior style gained 2.2 yards per carry. Donald Brown can sometimes be infuriating with his inability to see the hole developing right in front of him, but he and his inferior style averaged 2.8 yards per carry. The past two weeks, it doesn't matter what style of back we have, we're not gaining yards on the ground with any consistency because the blocking just isn't there.There's no satisfaction, in my opinion, on run plays that are consistently defeated before the back even gets to the line of scrimmage.A lot of people do have a bias against Brown. I'm sorry to have projected that onto you if it's not true. Like you, I'm glad to see Ballard get touches because I think he's going to be a really good back. But I don't think it matters who the back is, our running game isn't going anywhere until we fix the offensive line issues.Edit: The other thing is that I've seen Brown be decisive and productive with good blocking, like the game late in 2010 against the Jaguars.

I'm of the opinion that our blocking will get better when we, you know, actually have our starters in the game. 4 out of 5 players on our line yesterday were either subs heading into the season or were playing out of position. When we get our guys back healthy, that dancing in the backfield just might be the difference between a key 3rd down conversion and a run for a loss.That's all I'm getting at.

I just don't think it matters when the back is getting hit in the backfield, and I like Vick Ballard better than Donald Brown.I haven't even begun to analyze our situational running, because the line play overall has been so atrocious. But at this stage of the game, we could have any back in the league, and he wouldn't be doing too much more than our backs are doing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peytonator Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 From Pro Football Focus....Of the two backs on display I was far more impressed on this occasion with the Colts version. Donald Brown (+2.5) picked up over 100 yards less than his counterpart but didn’t get anywhere near the support. Time and again a quick cut found space where there was none and his second effort made a five yard gain into nine. With 5:30 gone in the second watch him cut perpendicular to the line then almost immediately north-south and drive through tacklers for four yards after contact.Throw in the 39 yard catch and run that should have won the Colts the game and this is an all-round back of high quality no one talks about.Donald Brown is not the problem.

GoColts8818 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I honestly thought Sunday was one Brown's better games as a Colt. No he might not have had as many yards as we want/need but that has more to do with the blocking than it does him. He ran very hard and was lowering his shoulder several times and did really well especially to the outside. I think Brown is starting to come into his own and if we can ever get him decent blocking he'd be a really good back in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manningstheman Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Is there very many running backs that dont go down with contact? Faulk went down with contact, edge went down with contact. Faulk is a HOF who was so quick, noone could touch him. Edge came into this league with our Oline that was awesome back in the day.They ran a stretch play like no other, we even were able to run stretch play fakes for huge yards because of it. Brown is a decent Pro RB. He always, statisticly, out proformed Addai. We all thought he was awesome at first ( Addia is cut now) Now we see he really wasnt. Our Oline has declined for many years. It is not great now. Give the RB's a break. Brown has never had a solid Oline in front of him. Our Oline has been built to hold the rush long enough for our QB's to throw the ball. Thats it. We will never have a great running game again. Most teams dont. Its a passing league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we could afford that luxury.I was joking.Arian Foster is probably my favorite running back in the NFL right now. He makes it look incredibly easy. He's what I hope Vick Ballard can be, but yes, he gets a ton of help from his offensive line, as the numbers show. But I'm pretty sure Brown's numbers would be a lot better if he were only getting hit behind the line of scrimmage on 16% of his carries like Foster.

Ryan Pelley Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It's been the offensive line for five seasons now. Addai was trying to shed tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and people said it was because he sucked. Donald Brown, same thing. Since Tarik Glenn retired and Jake Scott left for Tennessee, our run game has been pathetic at best. Yeah, there's one or two games a season where someone will break a big run (Brown vs. Jags in 2010, Brown vs. Titans in 2011), but that's about it. The line is just trash.
