Curious to see the RB rushing stats comparison between this season and last year. I know DJ, Tice, and QF have been racking up some ground yardage this year.

Marquel Posted October 27, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 1 Content Count: 12 Reputation: 3 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/11/2015 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I assume that you are saying that we are 7-0 despite a ridiculously low number of receptions going to the RB's. The biggest complaint of Gilbert/Strong (Charlie seems to be talking on the headset quite a bit when we have the ball) is red zone play calling. Your stats show that DJ scored on about 17% of his receptions last year, which is almost exactly the same percentage as this year. The one time DJ caught a pass in the red zone this year, it went for an easy score vs. Illinois. Houston has been a really bad 2nd half team (they obviously miss Herman), but they are very talented and should have beaten Memphis. We should easily beat them and cover the number at home, but we can't do that with the same vanilla game plan. Being physical and aggressive on defense and being little creative on offense with some more throws to 2 and run/pass options for Q in the red zone should do it. Go Bulls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowdown Posted October 27, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 5 Content Count: 993 Reputation: 121 Days Won: 0 Joined: 06/05/2007 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That stat is receptions by players whose primary position is running back. It's not just that we don't throw to the guys out of the backfield, last year DJ and Mack often lined up as WRs or motioned there pre snap. It's utilization of talent and not just scheme. I'm wondering when we formally accept that Tice is the #1 RB and use DJs versatility...I'm not expecting it, that's just now what this offense does.

However defense is giving up two less touchdowns per game on average so there is your difference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
