Sunra To Gibbs: Turn Jason Campbell Loose!

[SUNRA]

The time has come to release the BEAST OF THE EAST. The fans are ready and the city is ready to see a consistent performance by the offense with Jason Campbell at the helm. But not the way we have witnessed in the last third and fourth quarters. Make all of the excuses you want, this man needs to make at least 40 attempts against the Patriots. It seems the more Campbell throws, the less INT's he has. No more conservative playcalling and depending on the defense to bail us out. Rather, stay agressive and in attack mode via 1991. It's time for some action!

he threw 37 times against the Pack and look how that turned out for us...

I do believe if we don't get our running game going hard early that this game will be a domination. Establish the run then release Jason with the play action in the second half if needed. We are a running team. That's the only way we have a chance.

Campbell looked pretty good in that game, the WRs couldnt hold on to the damn ball!

As someone just noted, the drops are what hurt us that game, not the play calls.

I see it the other way around - pass to set up the run. This o line cannot block well in the run game.

I agree.. If we had all our O-line starters today, then I wld say run first but since we are patching up our O-line, so air first..

Freddg12 is right on! Pass to set up the run. If two O-Line starters go down on any NFL team, they would give up their helmets for a 4-2 record at this point in the season. That doesn't mean Al Saunders gives up on the run at any time during the game, however.

We've got no running game, and the sooner we all accept that, the better off we'll be. We're 24th in the leauge per attempt, which is no fluke. Without Jansen and Thomas to run behind, Betts and Portis become average RB's at best. How often do you see either them beat the opposing LB's on the outside? Sure, Portis could do that with ease 4 years ago, but to say he's lost a step would be putting it nicely. At this point, our best bet is to split running time between Portis and Sellers just enough to keep the passing game from getting too predictable. Gibbs' philosophy is run first, but this line ain't the Hogs, and Portis is no Riggo. We have to pass.

What an eye-opening argument. We passed for 217 yds against the Pack and ran for 94 yd, averaging around 3 yds a carry as opposed to almost twice that per pass. Quite obviously, we're a running team and should stick to that.

that was the recievers fault that we lost he had both of our TDs 3 if lloyd holds on to the ball

I think we need to open things up a bit but if JC has 40+ attempts against New England, it will probably mean it was a long day for the Redskins.

If that happens, they will have to add another scoreboard to get NE's score to fit.

You're right. We should kill as much time as possible on the ground. We should run wide but never out of bounds, which stops the clock. I suggest we go into the single wing so snaps can go directly back to the tailback, and then after the play we can drag back to the huddle as slowly as possible. Someone responsible should wear a watch so we will be able to avoid snapping the ball untill the last second. Instead of faking injuries to stop the clock, we should fake health when injured. No penalties, passes, or field goal attempts. They stop the clock. Most of all, don't pass.

It's better to lose by three or four touchdowns than get blown out.

Words fail me. :confused:

JC will air it out this game.

NE's one weakness has been the run game. Look at the stats. While somewhat skewed b/c once they are way out in front they don't need to fret the runs, opponents have run well on them even early in the game. If our damn patchwork OLine lets us run on them and we can keep their passing game from rampaging, we can win this game.

All you guys calling for the pass first are playing into NE's hands and out of our strengths. Get into a shoot out and 1) We are fighting with a derringer to their MAC-10 and 2) You weaken our strength (defense) by keeping it out on the field - you know like in the New York, Green Bay and Arizona game.

Good ball control drives that end in scores and sound defense that doesn't give up the big play - that's how we were built to win and that's how we can win if we execute well.

I am not saying run run run but I am saying that, if we give up on the run, we will lose. If we pound it and mix in the passing, we can win. In fact, if this team plays the kind of game it was built to play and does it well - we WILL win.
