Science has proved the earth is round and running the football doesnt matter. Ask Michael Irvin if the running game matters. He had a great take on this in one of his interviews and how, without it, you are simply 1 dimensional. If nothing else, it keeps a defense honest. At its best, it controls the clock, plays keep away, closes out games, gives the O line a chance to hit back and protects the QB. It matters!

Just like when your grandpa talks about how amazing his generation was and leaves off all the rampant alcoholism, health issues, women beating and racism. You just smile an nod. This is me smiling and nodding at Irvin. Maybe throw an 'Okay Boomer' at the end. Edited September 18, 2021 by Matts4313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well technically speaking everything does still matter such as special teams etc. But clearly the running game doesn't matter anywhere near as it has ever been and quite possibly Is nowhere even close to the passing game that should be obvious as as captain obvious would say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we are running from a 3rd world bunch of wussies. But let's all live on our "perception is reality" mind set. That's working out great! 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the next generation to come will be better than us. Embrace change people! And in this context, that change is realizing a very simple truth. RB is the least important position on offense or defense. Edited September 19, 2021 by Matts4313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the flaw in YOUR logic is their resolve was on full display on Aug 31st!! What a disgrace. But hey, im glad we're not talking politics as we are not supposed to.

That was the only major news on 8/31 😉. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 For real tho - the only difference is this generation would have done more, earlier, to stick up against the Nazi's and then would have stormed the beach just as those in the 50's. Well, not just the same. This time we would have brought all the people, like women, people of color, people with different sexual orientations.

I'm not sure you fully grasp how horrid that experience was. And I get your point. Maybe I'm just getting old, but the fact that it was males only is in line with the mindset back then that it was too gruesome for women's eyes. In other words, they were protecting their women. That's what a man did. Thats what I was taught. It's an old fashioned idea but it harkens to being a gentleman. Again, I get your point, and it's a good point, I just have a different point of view. But we are all Americans. This thought should remain constant. 🇺🇸 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
