Grant ran 11 times for 39 yards (3.5 avg) in the first half. But that's deceiving. He had a long run of 8 yards. In other words, except for his long run, he averaged 3.1 ypc. That's not good -- it's well less than mediocre.

That is how all RB (except Benson today) are. They get 2 yards, 1 yard 3 yards and then break a big one that makes the average. Peterson had 2 runs for 22 and 27. Take them away and he was at 3.3. Have to stay with the run even when not working the best, and you will eventually break one, and also to keep the rush honest.

Yeah, 8 yards is not much of a long run anyway. To take that out of his average is kind of cheap, I think.

I don't know what the heck McCarthy was thinking with the play-calling today. Mike Sherman and Tom Rossley used to get into ruts like this as well, where they just kept firing the ball down the field time after time.

3 : 30???

I never EVER thought I'd say this and I might deny it if thrown in my face later, I think it might be time to let Joe Philibin call the plays on offense.

It turns out your intuition is correct. I did an outlier test on his runs for the first half and his 8-yard runs (he had three of them) are not outliers. So it's not fair to remove them from the calculations. As it turns out, however, I don't have to.

Interestingly, in the Game Playbook available on NFL.com, there is a disparity between the numbers in the First Half Summary (11 runs for 39 yards) and the play-by-play section (12 runs for 40 yards). So it turns out his average for the first half was 3.33 ypc.

Not good, but not grounds to go to a 3:30 run-pass ratio in what was never more than a one-score game until the final few minutes. Maybe McCarthy had some hunches that proved to be incorrect, or the execution was just horrible. It was downright strange.

I just have a problem with the play-calling in general. Too many times I've seen McCarthy be completely conservative. 2nd down and 18 and we hand it off? 3rd down and 15 and we throw a short pass? Or how about those three runs in a row in the 1st half that took us straight to a three and out. McCarthy is too damn predictable and stubborn.

NSD: agreed that the yds/carry are underwhelming.

OTOH: so was the yds/pass play.

I had no idea the second half ratio of pass to run was so skewed. 30 to 3 is idiotic even if the runs were averaging 1.3 in the first half.

Only time 30-3 ratio is justified for a half is if the team is down by 4 TDs or so. Or if there are no RBs left on the roster.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Starting in the second half score is tied and the defense holds the Bengals on their first attempt. What happens. McCarthy forgets that there are two aspects to the offense.

3 runs and 30 passes in the 2nd half. When the opposing team is getting pressure. Terrible play calling

Screw the run.

The problem wasn't too many passes. It was the type of passes. What happened to our bread and butter short, successful passes that our WRs would get lots of YAC with? I saw very little of these during the game. This was our bread and butter. It worked. It's why we had the #5 best O last year.

some of the blame needs to go to the wrs/rbs. 4 hideous drops in the first half, grant fumble, etc. make things look worse than they really were.

W/ that said, i agree that pack still seemed to deviate from their bread and butter quick slants/dump offs and given the horrendous play of the tackles, 3 step and throw makes a lot of sense.

Here are Grants runs

3,1,8,8,2,2,4 TD,8,0,0,3,1,4,2

Definitely not bad enough to warrant completely abandoning the run in the 2nd half.

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
