Re: Can't run with the Eagle

I agree with the other posters. Be sure that your offensive line can run block of course, and try adjusting the run plays you call. For me, I like to run more stretch and toss plays with guys like Shady.

Everyone on my o-line is an 80+ except my center.

Any suggestions
McCoy is a shifty back.
You need to focus on plays that give the linemen the edge against the linebackers.

I.E. pay attention to the play you have called and if the linebackers have a straight line to you, audible to something else. With shifty/speed backs you're looking for plays where the linebackers have to change their angle of pursuit atleast once..

and for the love of god...it's the eagles...YOU will learn to love your running draw plays, otherwise you will not survive.

Audibles? Sounds like it might be too confusing for him to start. I suggest just trying to follow your blockers.

Re: Can't run with the Eagle

I'd say play the passing game for a quarter or two and to get the defense to play cover 2/3 or even deep zone then start your running game. It could be the oppoenents you're facing, their defensive line could easily overpower your offensive line. In that case just so with outside handoffs and call for your linesman to block left or right.

The running game can be easy if you're able to read the defense.

ohhhh.. your sense of humor is lost now? i used your own joke on you and you don't find it funny now, huh? that's weird. it was funny to you a few posts ago.

this is rhetorical btw.

moral of the story: don't be a smart*** then try to tell us it's a joke.
