In the Giants game, Eagles rushed for 107 yards and 1 TD on 30 carries/attempts...
That is hardly shite...
Against Dallas, we were held to 50 yards rushing on 18 attempts, but scored 2 TD...again hardly shite IMO...
We are not terrible running the ball.[/quote:037cb]
it was shite against the Giants. they coughed up a big lead because they couldnt run the ball in the second half.
and you can't be serious about dallas. there was maybe one decent run all day, i recall a 12-yard burst by bucky. and that was it.
Are the Eagles terrible at running the ball? No, probably not. Does Big Red have the will to establish a credible running game on any given Sunday. Very rarely.[/quote:037cb]
How is 107 yards on 30 attempts and 1 TD NOT credible?? How are 2 TD on the ground not credible in the Dallas game? Are they somehow worth less?
What is your expectation or masuring factor? How are those results shite? How do they reflect on Andy's "will"? Please, I need some evidence.
C'mon now...we coughed up a lead because we could not run the ball in the 2nd half?
First drive in the 3rd quarter, we score a TD on the strength of 5 rushes out of 7 plays...did pretty well there.
I also looked at the play-by-play stats of that game and focused on the 2nd half...guess what? Out of 32 offensive plays we had in the 2nd half, we ran the ball 17 times...that is over 50% of the plays. See the game log here.
Looks like Reid was focused on running the ball even when it was not working as well...IMO he should have passed more and been more aggressive to put more points on the board. It is hard for teams to come back when we keep adding on. So, all I can say is that Reid gets some blame for sticking with the run too much in the 2nd half IMO when it lost some of its effectiveness and the Giants focused on stopping it.
Combine that with poor execution in the passing game and bad defense and the come back occurred...It was hardly because of solely the running game IMO...it was a team effort unfortunately...
