Where is Danny Kreider? Where is Jon Witman? Where is Tim Lester? Actually, where is anybody? I see enough burst out of Willie Parker to not think he's injured. I see Mewelde Moore snap off some decent runs. What I rarely see is a bruising fullback hitting the hole first and knocking a linebacker on their ass. Today's running game was a joke. This season's running game is a joke. Something needs to be fixed. I don't think we should rest anyone next week - at least for the first half. I'd like to see us run 10 times in a row on the first drive. Our ground game is in shambles. Why we continue to run with no help is beyond me. We have 4 wide receivers out there and then we run. We run out of multiple TE sets and I don't think it's working. I'd rather see 1 or 2 and a fullback in the backfield. Running the ball is about attitude and execution. We have the commitment, obviously, because we continue to run Willie into the middle of the pile without an escort. What you're basically telling me is that our offensive line can't pass block.....and they can't run block. For the second year in a row, they are our Achilles heel and we really didn't do anything to address it besides swapping a less than mediocre center for a slightly better than average center. I don't care one bit about losing the game today. I didn't expect to be the #2 seed before the season began so I'll take it. Also, this game pointed out that we may not be as good as we've been thinking for the past 3 weeks and it will keep us honest. Can we beat the Titans? Absolutely. Jesus, they were so afraid to throw against us all they did sans one pass was allow Collins to throw short and outside all day. It's been a long time since we were leading with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter and then end up losing. I want to run. We need to run. What we can't do is continue to run the plays Arians is sending in. Instead of a Wide Recievers coach being our OC, I liked it much better when a TE was....and that's church.
