NoSaint Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Which sounds just about right when you are gameplanning against a team with a history of below average to poor run defense and a high powered passing offense. And fair, but if that's your opening up the playbook and getting high flying, I think expectations of what a balanced offense in 2015 is are a bit off. 50-50 is actually skewed pretty heavy to the run compared to league norms. Last year the middle of the pack centered around about a 60-40 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the middle of the pack centered around about a 60-40 split. That's a great point. Maybe I'm lacking to include that some of the receptions will be from the backfield, screens and other quick hit passes. I think ground and pound is also an emphasis on touches to the RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I think Rex now understands that in Buffalo (compared to NYJ), he can pretty mcuh say anything and expect the local response to be "yeah, YEAH--THAT'S RIGHT!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ground and pound is also an emphasis on touches to the RB I'll definitely buy that. Along with behind the line touches for the WRs. Harvin with a lead blocker can be ground and pound on a corner who just got hit in the mouth on a run by McCoy with a guard pulling in front. Just a point I try to post occasionally as I think a lot fall into 50-50 being roughly the norm but it's really heavily skewed due to the rules changes.

It truly has become a passing league, and as you've suggested, the ratio of run/pass has mirrored that and must be reflected in the game plan outlook regardless of the ground and pound title. I love the idea of the quick hit plays, getting our playmakers the ball and having them take care of the rest. I would imagine at leave 5 screen, quick hit or bubbles each game. If you took those into account, it would look more like 31/37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
