I think we're getting too reliant on the pass. 50 pass attempts with only 14 runs for Cook. As Leber pointed out, this unbalanced offense came after the Jets had just won by running on Buff the week before. Not sure what the scouting dept./offensive game plan was based on that.
I agree....
Overall as we get to December and later - running the ball (at least to hold a lead) grows in importance. KOC just seems to say F' it, we're chucking the ball around.
I have a growing suspicion Cook has peaked...Even as good as he looked on the 81 yarder
We'll see - I hope I'm wrong I love Dalvin. Team would benefit a ton if he became a real force this last part of the season.
I don't think he's peaked. He's just not being used enough. The Buffalo game was a good example... The previous two weeks the Packers and Jets showed you can run on the Bills and what do we do? Throw, throw, throw and throw some more. My only criticism of O'Connell to this point is I think he has a tendency to pass too much. I get it, JJ is a stud and you want to get him the ball, but Dalvin is our 2nd best offensive skill guy and he's just not getting enough opportunities in the run and passing game.
I'm cool with 60/40 pass to run split (or slightly higher passing percentage) but we seem to bog down at times when it gets 75/25 pass to run. I also think it would help our OL in pass pro if they can beat on that DL a bit more in the run game. Hopefully as the season gets longer and the days get colder, we start to run a little more. We're going to need it in the playoffs.
Yah, KOC loves the passing drug...
I have a feeling TJH is going to be our 2nd best offensive player...
If you look at our remaining schedule we have only 2 outdoor games left (and they're both incredibly important)
Dallas
NE
Jets
@Det
Colts
NYG
@GB
@ CHI
Good grief. Theres not an easy game left. colts at home is the easiest one left.
Nope. I think I'd put them in this order: Dallas, Jets, NE, @Chi, @GB, NYG, @Det, Colts. The good thing is that with the exception of Dak and the douchebag in Green Bay, there isn't a good, veteran QB remaining.

Love watching Darrisaw. Check out that shot he puts on the guy near the end of this.
I don’t know, but against Dallas would be a good time to pound the rock, don’t want to be in obvious passing situations against that pass rush. They showed vulnerability against outside runs against the Packers Sunday.

He puts three or four brutal shots on guys each game. And Cleveland too. We've had good lines before but I don't think I've ever seen one this nasty. They don't always win, but when they do, they punish. It's fun to watch.
It might be this guy....he looks like kind of a badass.

Look at the Dalvin TD. Starting at :21, watch Cleveland rock 99 so quickly and then move on to the LB.
That breakdown also shows a great little bit on Peterson's first INT. He forces the WR out of bounds so he can ignore him and watch Allen.

based on those 3 it looks like they are either over playing the pass or at best even. 2 - 6 man boxes and 1-7 man box, certainly not seeing the 8 or 9 man boxes that we had seen in the past with Zimmers influence on the game calling. Our big uglies are devastating when they have room to work, but dammit when they get into tight quarters they seem to have some issues seeing the forest through the trees at times...it will come.
JJs block on the 81 yarder was huge.
Didn't need to be text book---get one him and occupy him long enough for DC to make his cut.
Then enjoy the show
Line play on that one was spot on.
Against the cowturds I want to see massive oline play driving on them to take their will to compete away.
Then get our wrs/tes theirs while we snuff out any comebacks by dak
