Spread formations can work in the running game, but only on a limited basis (as skinsfan69 noted). I recall seeing Betts (version 06') rip off a few nice runs on draw plays in which the offense was in a spread formation.

Getting Al Saunders on board wasn't mistake IMO...I mean, he was well qualified, had something in common with Gibbs, plus Gibbs was getting burned out.

What has been a mistake I suppose is the lack of adjustment by Saunders and his inability to recognize what this team can and can't do. To be honest I don't think he has any authority (not his fault) and he doesn't seem to have the respect of the players. I never bought into the whole too many cooks in the kitchen thing but I'm starting to.

well put, it's hard to put a value on Gibbs' health & endurance in relation to the rigors of the job. We wouldn't want him wearing out from calling plays & that may have been more serious than we know in 04 & 05.

I'm torn on the whole Al experiment, but I agree w/you about the authority & respect from players. Sad thing to me is, w/our o-line banged up, we seem to protect better than run block, and a free Saunders would seem to be the kind of play caller that could mix it up enough to compensate.

I really really Wish we would spread the field on Offense. we are hurting JC's growth by not letting him go down the damn field more often

If we are at square one sitting at 5-3 OK.

If the running game keeps rollling as it did yesterday, are passing game WILL follow.

We have to take more shots down field and get JC into a groove, I would like to see him make some big steps in the second half of the season. Hard to believe Al is not calling more deep shots...?

Running is what we do best, and unless we start passing and getting where we need to go with it, we should stick to running.
