piss-poor defense of the Head Coach's decisions that have hurt the team

maybe you canNOT read?  Rage filled eyes watering, perhaps

Why would he get 15 carries lol?

15 carries for a RB has only happened three times this season, twice with White and once with Irving.

If Irving is out, the better over/under for Tucker would probably be 8. White's over/under should be 15.

And against a stout defense it seems like the game script will have the ultimate say 

 

It's an elite pass defense and soft run defense. If he isn't 60% run it's going to be a long day.

That can be misleading. I'd have to look at who they've played.

They've played 

LV - bad offense run heavy

Carolina - bad offense run heavy

Pit - Fields at the time and run heavy

KC - mediocre offense and balanced 

Den - mediocre offense and balanced 

Az - mediocre offense and run heavy

NO - Bad offense that can't pass

Cleveland - mediocre offense that until recently was run heavy 

Ten - awful offense that likes to run 

Cin - elite offense but still a good run team 

Balt - elite balanced offense 

ATL - mediocre offense unless they play the Bucs 

KC - Mediocre balanced offense 

...

So as far as I can tell 2 elite offenses played, pretty easy schedule (especially defensively), and lots of run heavy teams.

And the year as a whole has been run heavy with teams goong 2 deep safety. 

🤔

Interesting breakdown. Would you describe The LA Hairballs as, balanced?

This made me do a double-take, until I remembered that the Chargers did beat Denver handily…who beat us pretty handily.

Somewhere between the two, I suspect.

Chargers from the eye test are run heavy but that changed when Dobbins got hurt...

I've actually been starting both since the bye week and it's worked well.

I have Mixon so he's a lock and our flex is wr/TE. So it's either Bucky or White. I'm gonna play it safe with White

Not trying to diminish what Coen's offense accomplished tonight, but Fire you may have called it here.  Maybe they are a little overrated

Tucker 3 carries for 47 yards.

tonight he was 7 carries for 17 yards so a 2.7 ypc average

the other two running backs were 7.8 ypc and 4.3 ypc

And as you and everyone knows... Including JC.

These stats require context. We both know this but he's struggled with it.

I don't fault Tucker for his meager average because it was game script/run out the clock.

But it is nice giving him a taste of his own medicine

Yup. Still good but slightly overrated. 

Losing JK Dobbins has thrown them out of whack
