We may not have JK Dobbins, but we do have Latavius Murray who can replicate what Gus does, and heck even Duvernay has shown the ability to be an X-factor on jet sweeps and the like and we know he's explosive once he hits the edge. I don't believe this team will make the playoffs continuing to rely on Lamar's arm as we head into December football in the AFC North and given what Lamar has shown the past 6 games. 1st down runs are going nowhere against most defenses we face these days. "Forging a run identity" means we'll be in 3rd and long a lot. Better idea is to put in in Lamar's hands and see if he can improve his quick passing. Sink or swim it'll be a good experience and we can learn from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what a team did the week before, there is no "momentum". Sometimes teams play well and sometimes not. Look at what they've done over the season and make your evaluation. Don't cherry pick data points and try to draw sweeping conclusions. Cherry pick? What is cherry picking about them being the 25th ranked defense going into that game? That’s a SEASON LONG EVALUATION. Seems like you’re cherry picking that week 1 win over the Bills because it makes them look better than what they actually are. Their season-long resume isn’t above average. That’s not even a debatable point. But go off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
