Kinda quietly over the last two weeks our running game has gotten pretty dang good. Moreno has been the bulk of it but Hillman's numbers are up as well. Yesterday was the first time in what seems like forever when I thought running on 3rd and 2 seemed like an OK idea.
If this is a trend not a blip this is going to bolster an historically prolific offense to insane heights. When teams need to bite harder on the play action it is going to open up even more of the field. When we can legitimately play fox ball at the end of the games, and actually run out the game clock with first downs on the ground, we will be able to close out closer games. When the weather gets cold and wet we won't need to rely entirely on the Peyton precision.
Part of me wonders if we are starting to see the first returns on bringing back Alex Gibbs to teach our coaches the wonders and complexities of the zone blocking scheme. Any of you film guys out there willing to venture an opinion?
Pretty new at starting threads so be gentle...
