You do understand these are part of the reasons our offense has sputtered since the beggining of the season??
3 reasons why our offense has sputtered. New scheme, no running game, line protection. Same old song the last 5 years.
Our running game was avg at best against the defenses we faced. Jacksonville gives up 98 ypg when they have their best players on the field. Our running game was going to look better, regardless who we put in the game.
Our running wasn't even average, but this type of offense is geared towards the play action pass...no running game directly influences the ability to pass. It's simple, if the running game gets going it opens the playbook for the pass as we saw in the 2nd half yesterday. It's no coincidence that the running game was great the second half and our passing game score points.
Gado & Lundy would look just like Dayne & Gado against Miami & Denver. Lundy didn't look any better Sunday than he did against Philly, and he did worse than Dayne against Indy.
Again, I don't know what game you are watching but I watched the one where Lundy had the biggest gain all season by any of our running backs, gained first downs, and almost 100 yards rushing. I don't even seen how you can compare that. Kubiak took time out for him to learn the system a little better and gain some knowledge. He comes in a plays lights out. Lundy looked way better than any running back up this point, stats prove it and the live game proved it.
He played good enough to win, and that's all that's important.
Good enough to win is the Miami game, this was great game for him and the offense, the offense scored 27 points, that's more than just good enough, that's a pounding.
First the Safety wasn't late, Aj was just better than he was.
Safety was late because he didn't blanket him and Carr wouldn't have thrown deep if the safety picked up AJ on time. It was a perfect throw, but I guess to everyone that has a knock on Carr it was just lucky.
Second, that's not the first time David's done that.. that's the first time this year that he's done it right..... against StL in the preseason, he threw the ball to the outside, when AJ had inside position. Against Washington, he threw it inside when AJ had the corner beat over the top, and he under threw Walter in the endzone, when he should have put it over his head.
No interceptions is no interceptions. With 2 TD's a no Int's and over a 70% completion percentage, that is a great game in my book, I don't care how they are catching it. Maybe your standards are higher.
he's been doing this pretty well all year
He's had turnovers in most games, this game there were none, not 1 can be attributed to him. Add all that together and that is a great all-around game.
I beleive the third play of the Washington game was a great play off the boot... set up by two consecutive run plays for decent gains
but it wasn't consistant enough to respect the run. the 2nd half opened some doors because once we got the lead they Jags had to play the run more.
Do I look obvious in your sights?? did you mean obvious in "our" sights??
your=you all,y'all, everyone that is in the group mention. It wouldn't be "our" because I am not included in that group.
no matter. If this is the David Carr you want.... great, here he is. This is the same guy who threw for 3400 yards in 2004 against weak defenses.
Ok, I'll take the David Carr from 2004 and add a West Coast offense, good TE, Eric Moulds and different offensive line. I'll take that any day, THANKS! No give me the defense from 2002 and we are set for a good run in 2007.
I want the guy that will punish the defense for blitzing, I want the guy who will punish the defense for being so arrogant to put a linebacker over EricMoulds, or a midget on OwenDaniels.... I want the guy that will show DCs that they could knock him down all day long, and he'll still win the game.
you think I'm hating on Carr?? get out of here. I'm hating on the JakePlummer wannabe or the TrentDilfer V2.0 that you want him to be. I think he can be much better than those guys, on the level with Palmer, Brady, Manning(Peyton), and McNabb...... just as good, just as dominating, but different. I'm thinking a cross between Aikman & Marino.
Then your thoughts are misquided. He's got the talent to be a an above average QB, a top 10 QB sometimes, but the success of this team will be the put on the success of the defense. That is where you should look more than the QB position. I know offense get all the glory and neat to look at with highlight tapes, but the defense is the one that'll "get er done."
Right now, David is deceptively dangerous. I want him to be Dangerous.
After a full year in the WC offense under kubiak, he will be dangerous. I for one that we were going to have a slow start because we've played some very good teams. I was hoping a better effort after the bye against Dallas, but they are still on par with my prediction of 6-10. I thought the 2nd half of the season we were going to shake the newness off of all these off-season changes and start to gain some cohesion. We are on our way.
