If We Run The Ball More Will We Win?

[stonehart1234]

Well i think we should run the ball alot more then passing because Donald Brown is having alot of success running the ball. Each time it seems like he is having 8-13 yard runs most of the time. If we can run the ball more and better i think we could set up the play action better. And i want to see more of Delone Carter.

Tell me what you think

[GoGoColts]

You might be right. Running 50 times a game might be the formula.

We would have beat Carolina for sure if we would have given Donny about 10 more carries when we were driving in the 4th. Clyde needs to call more runs...at least 40 attempts a game. I mean, it's not like there would be more 3 and outs than we already have.

[OLD FAN MAN]

this o-line does not give much time to throw, they run block better than they pass block, i say run the ball even on third and long sometimes

[Smitto]

The colts might as well do that because they really dont have a passing offense, i think donald should have a pretty good game tomorrow... the pats defense isnt what it use to be.

People remember the early patriots defense from this year. they have gotten so much better. They make a lot of turnovers and don't give up points. I don't know why people even look at yards. it's a meaningless stat. points is what matters and patriots d is 11th in scoring defense. Analysts that say the patriots have the worst d are *....colts have the worst d. and the patriots also have a pretty good run d. But i am in favor of running a little more, shortens the game at the very least.

I think we should start out run heavy, and if the game stays close, start mixing up the pass and the run. At the end of the day, I would like to have seen the Colts run about 35 times, and throw about 27.

[mightisright]

It's ALL going to depend on whether we can improve our 3rd down completions! If we can do that, then we can keep the ball better and run it more. But if we can't stay on the field it won't matter......

I know that's obvious, I just wish it were obvious to them!

Running against NE run defense is not an option. Mixing it up with well desgined plays and maybe some trick plays (flea flicker) and a profound colts defense would go a long way.

[The Fish]

You forget that the Pats score a lot of points.

Can't score if their on the sideline.

in the I with fullback, or singleback with TE in motion, and pound that thing, even if we dont make 1st downs, the oline will learn, but without a lead blocker, the line doesnt do that well. Also opens up for great play action to a speedy Garcon, or a good route by wayne

the pats may have gotten better but those yds they gave up dont lie.. though they are just outside of the top 10 mark when it comes to run defense they have some holes, some screens as well could really work in this game.. they do have a really good corner though.
