6 inches per carry on thursday. I dint think he ever had a chance for explosive plays. They gameplanned around him and dared Moore to beat them.

With that said we should always be looking at getting a running back anyways. They have a short shelf life and ajayi has a degenerative knee

 

I agree he does t look quite the same. Saw it early... I don’t know what’s going on it’s hard to tell with all the dysfunction in front of him, and supposedly he’s playing at a lower weight, but something doesn’t seem right.. I know that defenses caught up to the outside zone stuff last year and it doesn’t look like we adapted to that

 

Ajayi is fine, he is the least of our problems, the problem is the ****ty oline and gase's even ****tier playcalling.

If he looks slower it's probably because he is tired of running into a brick wall and having to break tackles left and right just to gain a couple yards.

 

I agree. Ajayi should be able to accelerate to at least 20 mph in the 0.001 seconds he has the ball before being hit in the backfield.

He’s a total bust. Cut him immediately.

 

Bring back Daniel Thomas!

 

Mentally the grind could affect his style, the ineptitude up front could be changing the way he’s trying to do things throwing him out of whack... I really don’t think it’s his fault I just think he’s trying to do things that he shouldn’t do.. hey man... sometimes just hit that hole and move the pile to make a statement... these delayed handoff goes against his skill set, set him back deep and get him a running start at the line, let his power move some people on his own..that’s what we need to see, we need to see him fed up instead of trying to adapt to the BS.

 

You are all nuts Ajayi it’s the problem. This line is putrid. The offense is limited with gase calling safe plays 24/7 as the opposing defense knows we want to run it’s out best weapon so they load the box shift formations and lock us down.

The slackers are on the line. Man up push forward and open some damn holes and lanes for the running backs.

That sad I’m going to wadddle my day *** to the fridge grab a beer and watch more football. I don’t get paid to be a pro!

 

He should take a page out of Csonka's book and just bury his helmet into the back of the lineman who is in his way not creating the hole on a given play. Csonk's linemen said that used to make them want to open holes better. Although you'd hate to see him hurt one of our elite linemen.

 

Yup... that’s what he should be doing, instead he’s trying to escape, and he’s just not quick enough to do that...not his fault but he needs to adapt his style until the line gets better and the coach and qb can get extra players out of the box

 

I've yet to see him break off a big run. The 20 harder on the opening carry against the Ravens was his longest run of the season and once he found space, he looked fine to me.

 

To me it looks like his knee(s) where bothering him. There was one play in particular where he actually had a nice hole, hit it, and wasn't able to accelerate like he normally does. He looked gimpy.

 

While I agree that he's lost a step... I do think the OL is a bigger issue. They are not getting that first push like they were last year. Run blocking has been real bad.

 

I agree they are the bigger issue.

 

Gase is quoted as saying that the O-line doesn't practice together. Pouncy never practices. How many injuries have they had just this season where they are changing players out and/or some of the hurt people don't practice?

 

I agree.

 

If an average r/b can’t generate 3 yards from scrimmage in a run formation something is wrong with your coaching and online play. Btw Ajayi isn’t an average back and he can’t get 3 yards a clip behold behind this trash.

Fix the line and this entire team once again becomes relevant. I think having a coke head as a oline coach rubbed off on them as far as professionalism and giving a damn. The basics probably got overlooked.

 

Yeah I always thought we would have a slightly above 500 record but not because of the horrid play. So I’m now in the mindset to firesell off what we can gather a mass of draft picks and buy free agents to fix the line. Will will overpay but we’re wasting money on other positions that are not producing anyway.

Rebuild for 2 years from now and draft a QB to groom behind thill

 

Gase running the same plays every game is what's going on. Defenses are gamplanning specifically to stop ajayi and gase doing exactly what they expect him to do.

If a defense is playing the run logic tells you to pass more until the back off, but not hard head gase he prefers to continue running it into 8 and 9 man fronts.

 

Gase is coaching scared thinking his offfense is going to generate turnovers 24/7 so he’s picking safer types of plays.

He starts every game conservative trying to get a lead which hasn’t happened than he adjusts but we don’t have the offense to come back.
