WTF Happened To Our Running Game?

[Liquidstoke]

Grateful that DK can make up the yards for us... But **** what the **** has happened to our running game??

We opened the season with some spectacular runs and signs of potential w our trio of blue chip RB’s. If we had continued that kind of performance— DK would be putting up 400yd passing games regularly.

Yes the OL has been ...

But the OL also did a fantastic job holding the pocket for DK at NCState.

So why are they unable to open running lanes??

How many times are we gonna try a run up
The middle for no gain? Week after week that’s his main running call.

Is it a OL talent issue or a coaching issue?

My concern is that Lashlee is a one-dimensional coach— he only knows how to game plan for his QB to pass or tuck/run.

If that’s the extent of your offensive planning then teams are going to pin their ears back and have zero worries about the rest of your running game.

There is a difference between run blocking and pass blocking. Pass, we aren't bad, run, gets no push.

 

[Hurracanes]

We don’t do our run game any favors with our lack of imagination and creativity. It’s too predictable and very linear.

The run game starting get shut down when Miami started playing defenses that had a pulse. Clemson, Virginia, Pitt actually play a little defense compared to Louisville who cant stop a nose bleed or dumpster fire FSU.

We don't have road graders on the OL. They are all finesse in style of play with a couple exceptions. Have to recruit harder in that position and stop taking projects, but in order to do that you have to show coaching continuity and development.

Film, others teams watch it on us

Yep, and we keep spending the 1st 3 quarters attempting live by our weaknesses anyway.

Our OL happened

Brent Venables laid the foundation on shutting us down and teams are carrying it out?

We are weak on the interior OL. Our C gets pushed back at least a yard into the backfield on every unsuccessful run. I'm not sure if he is unable to snap the ball shotgun style and fire off at the same time or he is taught to snap and catch the NT/DT. Either way, it needs to be fixed. Maybe Feeley can help with that. Our OL has been getting worked the last few years so maybe Justice can turn it around. Can also argue we are soft and that run game is all about attitude. Are we soft???

Go Canes!

The inside zone is our bread and butter. It may not be popping off big runs but running up some huge pass plays just off the action.

We are playing decent defenses now that aren’t fooled by inside zones and don’t just let Harris bounce it outside for 80 yds

 

[CANEMC]

It'll open up as King keeps it more. A lot of times he hands it off in situations where he should keep it.

 

[JayCane20]

Jakai and Scaife aren’t very good is your answer. Also we basically run nothing but inside zone and it’s right up their *** so if they’re not paving the way it’s not going anywhere. Alabama can do it because they will road grade the DL and it doesn’t matter. Miami has to fabricate our run game and get creative.

We haven’t done that yet

 

[Deleted member 26015]

Offensive Line, especially on the interior, hasnt been very good.

Mesh charge is a ***** and it looks like Miami hasn't practiced against that technique enough bc King's reads on it are off.

 

[5XNC]

and a lot of it is taking what the defense gives you. which is what we wanted. and lashee is doing just that. now we're complaining

 

[margate]

no depth. i mean 2 true freshman are carrying the team. not saying they arent good backs but if they get knicked up then what ??? burns was a wasted scholly from the rip

 

[San Amaro Dr]

Mentioned this before but we had some early success on inside zone and Lashlee schemed up some run fit mistakes against bad defenses. We are just covering people up and not getting any movement. We have had 0 success with any other schemes and it has caught up to us.
