Coming into the season, this is the type of football I thought we would play. Run the ball 30+ times a game. It’s what we’re best at and built to do, but for some reason have strayed away from. Hopefully this trend continues, we need to play to our strengths of having 3 above average RBs who can all do different things

Lowkey, kind of a genius plan to wait to use Allgeier until the 4th quarter to just bulldoze and solidify the W. I hate how this team just toys with me every week.
We did the same thing vs the Cardinals on the drive to take the lead late in the game. Just a shame the defense couldn’t hold on.
The problem was by that point BOTH defenses were tired
It’s what the Dolphins do rotating Mostert and whoever is alive between Achane, Wilson, Ahmed, Brooks, etc. so in the 4th Mostert is always fresh to deliver the dagger.
Allgeier is godly when defenses are tired and start trying to arm tackle.
Allgeier should be our closer and nothing more. Use Bijan and CP for the first 2.5-3 quarters of the game, and then let Allgeier come in and put it away if we have a lead. He’s safe with the ball, carries defenders, and fights for yards. Exactly what you want in a closer.
Yup, get your guys that can run horizontal well for all the game, the. Get the hammer and start nailing those tires dudes.
I never thought of using a RB committee like pitchers in baseball. That’s smart af
Desperately this sub needs to realise you don’t play the saints every week and there are teams you can’t just run the ball endlessly against
We did it most of last year without bijan.
That’s true, although I did see that we switching our run blocking scheme from what was mostly zone blocking last season. Where this season I believe we’re down like 20% in zone blocking and an increase in gap blocking. Which I think likely contributes to some of our woes with the run at times.
I think our guys are best fit for zone blocking, but for whatever reason we seem to have added more gap blocking into the mix. Perhaps that best suits Bijan’s talents, who knows what the reasoning is, but I feel it’s part of the problem.
It’ll be easier if we keep running Ridder too. Make teams have to account for him on running plays instead of selling out to stop the RB.
Yes I’ve been waiting for it all season. Des has some serious speed. Seems like they emphasized that over the bye week.
I mean I agree but running the ball down their throats give us the best chance to win point blank period with the current qb situation.
Running the ball X amount of times is contingent on the flow of the game and sustainability of drives as well as having success on the defensive side of the ball. If we are winning games, the result will be that we run the ball. We won’t win the games because we run the ball.
Yeah man! They were all eating! I hope we find a way to continue this success.
CP84 had the juice this game. The man wanted to embarrass people this weekend and I was all for it
He really hates the Saints. Gotta respect the effort, he plays like he’s been a Falcon his whole career.
He has to hate them. He runs like he wants to vaporize those dudes. Also he was talking mad shit yesterday (rightly so after the body slam too), which he rarely does. CP will always be a legend in my book just for how he runs dirty swamp rats over.
I was laughing my ass off watching him flex on the defenders he was running over
This was a very impressive outing by the O-line and blockers in general. 0 sacks allowed as well.
Running until they stop us is what we should do. It’s what this team is built to do. Yeah, the Saints run blocking wasn’t great, but once we got late in the game just wearing them down worked. I’d love us to be more balanced but we just aren’t there, so let’s do what we know…feed those RBs!
This is clearly a winning formula for us, but to do so we need to be leading, or at least stay competitive in games. We seem to only be able to accomplish this in our shitty division matchups.
Yeah, the rotation actually made sense, too. Bijan did most of the work for the first 3 quarters, and Tyler finished the game as the bruiser. Sprinkle in a little bit of Patterson and Ridder and BAM! 230 yards rushing.
That was the game plan i expected all year. Have Ridder throw 20-25 times and run the ball down teams throat.
I think Arthur just wants to throw the ball more and as much as I’d love tos we ridder develop into that, asking this team to throw more than run is not a winning formula.
But getting Parker hesse had a way bigger impact on this team then I thought. But that’s Arthur smith. Dude is great and turning castaways Into productive players, now he just has to figure out how to get his impact players more involved consistently
I agree 💯. The less ridder throws the better 😂 im joking but also serious
Ridder can make the good throws, a couple of amazing passes to London I thought, and perfect ball floated to Robinson for a TD. I think the plays just need to be easier for him, set him up for the easy plays, and he’s great. Get him to figure out the 5D chess Smith is trying to pull off and we’re screwed lol
