as long as there’s no defense on the field.

From his latest presser:

Q: Talk about the run game. Where is that?

BK: We have focused on getting the right players in the right positions. Our primary focus has been on consistency in our throwing game. And then as a group, without our defense, we’ve focused on the run game….


That's an actual quote. That needs to marinate awhile. *

That's when we hit 'em for big chunks with a delayed hand-off. Always use the pass to set up the run.


if you don't use the pass to set up the run

We need to pass to set up the pass.

It’s not 2011 anymore.

that the defense collapses on it and then (1 time) run the fake rocket and go and score a TD.

Who needs a short yardage running game? You're such a dinosaur.

They're not doing much work on the running game against a defense, though.


Short passes are the same as running the ball.
