because everywhere I turn someone is *****ing about the pats run game, I have created this thread.
if you think belichick doesn't like to run the ball, or the pats suddenly forgot how to run the ball, you are bull****ting yourself.
(note: I am not counting qb or wr runs in the following)
game 1 (jets) 28 passes - 34 rushes
maroney returns from injury
I am not a mathematician, but I estimate that's more running than passing.
game 2 - (sd ) 31 passes - 28 rushes
maroney 5.1 ypc -- morris 5.1 ypc vs top ten run d
I guess even now you can see them abandoning the run.....
game 3 - (buf) 29 passes - 37 rushes
does this game need a comment?
game 4 - (cin) 32 passes - 26 rushes
maroney out
game 5 (cle) 38 passes - 30 rushes
maroney out
---------------------------------------------------- sammy out vv
game 6 (dal) 46 passes - 26 rushes
sammy knocked out for season after 10 carries
maroney still out
meanwhile, rushing powerhouse dallas threw 29x and ran 14
game 7 (miami) 28 passes - 22 rushes
maroney creeping back from injury w/6 carries
game 8 (wash) 41 passes - 28 rushes
through 8 games they have only one w/less than 26 carries, and that is last week when maroney only got 6 carries coming back from injury, while they have 3 of 8 w/30+ carries
game 9 (indy) 32 passes - 23 rushes
first half evenly split - second half got away from run while throwing to moss
came back in 4th to beat a top offense while throwing to moss
week 10 - (bye) 0 passes - 0 rushes
exactly even split
week 11 - (buf) 41 passes - 26 rushes
maroney sits most of blowout having alleged foot injury looked at
evans + eckel = 4.8 ypc
and check this stretch:
2-4-NE 29 (10:24) 44-H.Evans right guard to NE 35 for 6 yards (55-A.Crowell).
1-10-NE 35 (9:47) 44-H.Evans up the middle to NE 41 for 6 yards (33-J.Greer).
2-4-NE 41 (9:06) 44-H.Evans right guard to NE 44 for 3 yards (55-A.Crowell; 56-K.Ellison).
3-1-NE 44 (8:25) 16-M.Cassel pass short left to 44-H.Evans to NE 48 for 4 yards (95-K.Williams). Play action pass, caught at NE 46.
1-10-NE 48 (7:43) 38-K.Eckel right guard to NE 49 for 1 yard (92-R.Denney).
2-9-NE 49 (7:01) 44-H.Evans up the middle to BUF 40 for 11 yards (52-J.DiGiorgio).
1-10-BUF 40 (6:15) (Shotgun) 16-M.Cassel pass short middle to 38-K.Eckel to BUF 34 for 6 yards (38-J.Butler; 55-A.Crowell). Caught at BUF 35.
2-4-BUF 34 (5:32) 38-K.Eckel left tackle to BUF 35 for -1 yards (92-R.Denney).
3-5-BUF 35 (4:46) 38-K.Eckel right guard to BUF 31 for 4 yards (55-A.Crowell)
week 12 (philly) 54(!) passes - 13 rushes
came out first half exclusively no huddle shotgun spreading wr's
only rush of first half being 1 yd td run -- 12 carries in second half (plus another rushing td)
also, scored 2 td's and 1 fg on only 3 possessions in first half w/this no huddle scheme
week 13 (bal) 38 passes - 22 rushes
22 carries for 76 yds equals about 3.5 ypc
I'm not sure how much running anyone expected here -- balt must be a top 2 run d, if not the best
3.5 ypc is probably one of the highest ypc they've given up
now stfu, plz
