What is the first thing a football team has to do?

Running the ball.

Well, this had been a nice chat.

Obviously I disagree, as do the thousands in my support.

I see your thousands and raise you my legion.

Checkmate.

Hmm... would these be called a "paradox"? Which comes first, stopping the run or running the ball? Chicken or the egg? Tied for first?

Well, I know no egg is gonna stop a chicken, so...

What if the egg has super powers?

What if the chicken has a phobia of eggs...kind of like our offense has a phobia of scoring before the 4th quarter?

Well now you're talking about goose eggs, and that's just cheating.

Egg came first

Immediately. If they can't stop the run, then your team is gonna break off 80 yard gainers every time, right?
lol. This is futile.

Anyway, here's where Fisher stands on your question.

"We’re gonna have to ... adjust our offensive philosophy to I think what’s probably better suited for us right now — and that’s to hand it off. And then everything else spins off of that.”

If that's insufficient, then I guess it doesn't really matter what we think if every answer but yours is wrong anyway. :sly:

We need to hand it off to a running attack averaging 1 ypc. 1.2? 1.4?

The Rams can win, I believe, with this offense, but not by featuring the run.

If they can't stop the run, they're lost. Death spiral.

But you're right, I'm not right. Or wrong. Just talking.

That is apparently the answer to stopping this team. Go try the same on the saints or broncos
