when there’s no defense on the field. It gives our running backs a more realistic sense of the wide open spaces they’ll be running through, especially when our opponents go with that zero-men-in-the-box look. Anyone with 67 years of head coaching experience will tell you that.
so it's not like our backs have to read the blocks, where the defense is moving, etc.
issues and puts up a bunch of GIF's showing "+1 in the box" and other bullshit, this quote needs to be brought back up and discussed.
It's bullshit--we don't run the ball well because the head coach really doesn't see it as that important (relative to the passing game, of course).
Fresh ideas, new approaches, understands centrality of power running game.
This might be as close as we can get to the Kelly offense in its natural state.
that the coach who has obstinately ignored what should be and is a huge historical program advantage - and who should have had a thunderbolt 'aha!' moment after what occurred the first 2/3 of last season - is back to winging it.
it'd be like mercedes benz saying - 'yeah sure we have some great cars - but look at all of this pizza! We're gonna sell you some pizza - logic be damned!'
need to work on the running game in the summer.
