billsfreak Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 People are just gonna respond that its because trent didnt set up the running game. You are exactly correct, if the game would have been delayed for lightning it would have been Edwards' fault too on this board. Trent wasn't great, but he was much better than the O-Line, and the passing game was lights out better than the running game and that isn't saying much, check the stats.
shakar Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Not to be redundant, but the reason we couldn't run the ball was also because of Trent Edwards. Miami was stacking the box and daring him to beat them with his arm and he just isn't capable of doing that. Other teams know this and you can look for more of the same this coming Sunday. Until and unless TE learns to check down when there are 8 0r 9 men in the box and go to a three step drop with a slant over the middle, that is what we are going to get. After three years, he still hasn't figured this out. You can't run the ball when the defense is taking away the run. If you can't throw it in those situations, you are doomed to failure. Can't setup the pass with no protection, O-line's fault for not running the ball, last time I checked quarterbacks aren't good at blocking or throwing with defenders hang'in off them
