[QUOTE="DAN79_rivals650805, post: 129446671, member: 1807308"] If you can run the FB, you should run the FB. All great coaches know and understand the importance of running the FB. What did Woody Hayes say about passing? There is nothing worse in FB for a defense than getting continually pushed back by a good running game. It punishes a defense and wears them out and beats them up. It pounds them into the ground. It demoralizes them. Running FB is attack FB. It also keeps your own defense off the field and fresh and helps you manage the clock. On the other hand, passing offenses are defensive offensive. The O-line is always moving back trying to protect the QB with the opposing defense serving out the punishment. Furthermore, passing offensives are fickle. Windy days, rain, and snow all can greatly impact your ability to pass the ball effectively. A team that can effectively pressure your QB will force many errors, such as fumbles, interceptions, over throws, under throws, bad reads, etc. So, if DH is smart, yes, he will look seriously at changing his offensive to be a more effective running offensive. In fact, making this change, just might save his job.. [/QUOTE]
