Which one of these QB's would you rather have?

[Screamin12th]

Yes. We had 102 rushing yards against the Giants. Of which 72 of those yards were Geno Smith. Kenneth Walker had 5 carriers for 19 yards. Charbs 2 carries for 11 yards. Against the Niners the RBs had 19 carries for 52 yards. Funny how you didn't mention that. Why are you being so intentionally dishonest?


Tampa has been more effective at running the ball.

You can't run the ball if your defense can't get off the field. It was true when Pete was coach. It's true now. It will be true in the future.

WOW now you think Irving is a better RB than Walker HAHAHJAH! Tampa has ran the ball 155 times to the Hawks 125 and thats only over 6 games! The Bucs are 15th in the NFL for rushing attemps the Hawks are 32nd ( the rams have 2 less rushing attempts but have only played 5 games ) K9 is looked at as one of the elite RB in the NFL, he just doesnt get the touches.

It's not about who is better. I'd imagine that K9 would be highly effective in Tampa as well. But they clearly have a more effective blocking system than we do right now.

Do you think that the Hawks aren't running the ball simply because Grubb doesn't want to? Wasn't that the same thing fans said last year about Waldron?

The key to running is minimizing negative plays. Not only do we have too many short gain running plays, we have too many penalties on those plays which then put us in passing situations. You can't effectively run if you are behind schedule.

35 of our 47 penalties this year have been on the offense... We are 6th in the NFL in penalties... I don't understand why we're always atop in penalties as a team... 23 of our penalties are false starts and offensive holding... That's tops in the NFL in those 2 categories... That's crazy... That will always keep you behind the chains...

Yup. And it just crushes your running game.

through the first 5 games the hawks first 10 plays in each game ended up being 37 passes and 13 runs. No they are not trying to run. Thats basically 3 to 1 pass to rush ratio. This is being kind also because it was normally the first drive they would try to keep a little balance it gets MUCH worse the farther you dig into it. We saw them come out and try to run against the 49ers and EVERYONE knew they were going to do it. They had been passing SO DAMN MUCH the smart thing would have been to spread them out and then run out of the spread but no they showed run formation fooled NO ONE and tried to run.

First year coach that is relying to much on his OC to call the right plays. How many of these plays were runs that Geno changed at the LoS? Either the OC has zero clues or Geno is changing the play. Which one is it because either our coaching staff is shit or Geno is. It is one or the other. Our offense is giving our defense ZERO help NONE!

sad thing is 9 TD rushing and only 6 passing.

In some of these games they ended up running a lot in the 4th quarter to close out victories or we could be looking at a 4 to 1 ratio not the 2 to 1 it comes out to be overall.
