I cant understand why its so hard to have a civil discussion without someone getting their feelers hurt. Maybe Im too old to discuss stuff with the younger generation. I respect everyones opinion, even if it doesn lineup with mine.

Id like you guys opinion on something I seen today.

Obviously we ran a different offense today than last week. Seems when they play a better team, their strategy is to grind it up the middle and control the clock. Every time they open up the playbook, they seem to score at will. So why not run an open strategy every week? I understand Dobbs had a ba game last week, but he looked pretty solid today.

Because of Lyle and his stubbornness

OLINE. Every year we've been able to showcase Dobbs ability passing against DLs we could either dominate or hold our own against and in turn have been able to open up the run game for big plays. You can't have an open playbook without the passing game. When both the passing game and the run game click the offense sings. But we've struggled in league play and even against mediocre DLs out of conference because the OL has struggled. Last season we could run block but couldn't pass block while this season the OL has been too injured to do either very often. OL play has held back the offense for a few seasons now.

When they're healthy or having a good game the offense works but if not nothing gets going at all.
