Not a Smash Mouth Team Anymore!!

Sorry but we are a run first team.

Let's stop with this silly crap ok?

The world is not ending.

Sorry but we are a run first team.

Sure we are. Just not a two tight end run it up the middle on first and second down 1980's smash mouth Redskin running team.

What's apocalyptic about this thread?

"Not a Smash Mouth Team Anymore!!" What doesn't sound negative with that? In addition to this thread, when added to the following threads (and misc. posts), you can't deny that everything is starting to take on an "end of the world" mentality:

"f...gibbs"
"Great Playcalling, Joe"

Yadda, yadda, yadda. :blah: Jeeze people, it's one freakin' game! Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we still have, oh, 13 more games to play?? Yes, we lost. Yes, the team / coaches made mistakes. But, let's hope they all learn from it and make the necessary corrections. Now, everyone please take the gun out of your mouth and get over it already. :rant:

I just don't see how you can group this thread with the f...gibbs thread. I guess it must be the exclamation marks? This thread points out a possible flaw in our running philosophy. Nothing more. I do get you on the intense negativity in many of the thread titles. I'm just saying this particular thread seems pretty tame to be grouped in with some of the rest.

Yeah I agree people are over reacting to this thread, but I don't entirely agree with the message behind it. I think we need to maintain our identity as a smash mouth team, but I think you all have been right in saying we need to utilize the other aspects of our team.

Matty was right in saying we are a run first team, but I think we need to put teams away by putting up more points, and you need to do that through the air. All the best teams today do that, and we need to make that transition.

But we also cannot do that by completely giving up our identity, we need to move forward from where we are to become the all around team, not throw everything away. Look at what happened with Spurrier.

Now Im not saying that you all meant to say we needed to throw everything away, but that is the impressions others are getting. Just a miscommunication.

So in one thread we're too conservative (run, run, pass) and in this thread we're no longer a smash-mouth team?
