Play Action????
 

This isn't a negative tear the Offense down thread...IUt is just a question...I guess I just don't understand why we don't run much play action at all anymore. We have one of the better running games in the league and yet we arely try to set up the pass with play action. I defenitely think our Offense is progressing and hopefully will be even further along when we have tough tests with Indy and Chicago. I was alittle dissapointed in Caldwell today...he defenitely missed some balls that he should have had. Hopefully th eprogression of the starting WR's will move to Gabriel and hopefully Jackson. I mean Gabriel should defenitely see more action then Caldwell. I would like to see A Gabriel, Jackson, and Brown unit when we go 3 WR sets and then bring in Gaffney or Caldwell on 4 WR sets. I Look the way Gabriel took that ball in the end zone...He didn't leave it to chance, he went and got it.

NEM? NEM? Is that you? Did you register as another person again? What did you do with SCPatBoy?

I've recorded every game and we aren't doing alot of playaction at all. Maybe there is a reason, but like I said usually the Playaction is a great tool for the QB and Offense when you have a solid Running game!

Re: Play Action????
 

Saw BB on TV say it's only helpful on long passes. Also noticed some posts in another thread that addressed you concern, (the 112 QB rating thread).

Re: Play Action????
 

I agree. Manning made a career out of it.

What do the Pats do when they are running the ball well?

Go empty backfield!

I just think they would be even more succesfull with the play action

Re: Play Action????
 

I think BB or McDaniels or whoever is laying low on play-action for the time being. Obviously we didn't need it to move the ball effectively today. We're saving it for Indy I bet.

The couple of times I saw us use play action today, the result was Brady being met in the backfield by Schobel or Kelsay and sacked.

With the Bills not biting, Light having his usual difficulty with Schobel, and no Danny Graham, and a lead the entire game, I'm not surprised we kept it in our pocket.

Bless you, someone with eyes that see. :)

Hey, we could be like Buffalo, and run play-action down 22 points with less than 4 minutes remaining in the game. THAT was a convincing threat ... :rolleyes:

Re: Play Action????
 

Agreed. While maybe not saving it for a particular foe, I too was thinking it was sitting in the bag for later in the season. Brady sells the play as well as anybody and better than most, so it is curious it has been called very little so far. Even against teams that have not penetrated the backfield easily.
