LOL you would know. 19 rushes 275 yards on you son LOL. J Train!! Wooot Woooooooooot!!!! Now I'm not sure they are going to put them in, but my entire argument is that they do not have the fronts to deal with the run from the big sets. If they do not put them in, people will suffer.

We'll obviously tune this back. I can't think of too many times recently where the running game was too powerful...so I am very happy with the fact that we've gotten there - it is extremely easy to dial it back. There were three major issues that the community guys saw as well: LB's aren't playing the run correctly, it was too easy to bounce it outside on inside runs (so I end up with Jacobs solo on a corner), and plainly enough Jacobs was just breaking out of way too many tackles. All things we can (and will) address.

I personally found it kind of encouraging though. We've given a lot of tools to the defense this year (that we'll be announcing soon) so to still be able to dominate on the ground was a nice feeling. I don't remember it ever being this way. It actually felt like a great game for how Rookie mode should feel...so now we can scale down from there. I had a ton of fun - I know Mike didn't though.
I know you guys will tune the backers, but I'd like the run to be left alone, I just think fronts are an issue. We need more. There are not enough 8 man fronts in the game.

Was Super Mario too busy getting double teamed to help on runs that got bounced out?

Did elite agile/eulsuive backs play well in comparison to what BJ is putting up?
