What more do you need?
Game examples.
Funny that you brushed past all the stats that contradict your thesis.
Game example: Kansas City.
Defense choked. Easy score in OT. Could have at least held them to a FG.
Game example: Atlanta
Defense choked. Under 10 seconds and let them do a quick slant to get in FG range and spike with soft coverage. Followed by getting beat by a punt returner for a game winning TD.
Game example: SF
90 seconds. Struggling kicker. Couldn't even hold him to a long FG attempt in a game where he had the yips.
Game example: Carolina
Easy score to Theilen with 30 seconds left to take the lead. Offense bails them out with quick FG score. Followed by the defense getting shredded in OT but a lucky punch out saved Bowles.
This shit is too easy with you
You said the offense "carried" the defense all year. There are your "examples".
Chiefs game- offense had FOUR 3 and outs, including two in the 4th qtr.
Falcons game- defense got the game sealing INT after the offense FUMBLED. If the offense just didn't lose yards the Falcons would have needed a hail mary.
49ers game- offense starts the game with 3 points on five possessions. Defense gets a stop up 17-13 in the 4th, offense goes 3 and out. Offense can't score a TD with goal to go.
Panthers game- offense in the middle of the game: 3 and out, 3 and out, FG, INT, punt, punt, INT. In OT the Panthers start at midfield, just needing a FG to win the game.
I'm not sure you understand what "carried" means.
Hard to keep Rachaad’s hands and blocking ability off the field. Elite hands, best blocking ability of any back.
Average in the run game.
If we couldn’t find one guy with all elite attributes, we at least have 3 guys with portions of elite to their game. Bucky’s rookie season was mind-blowing, my only concern with him is durability. Looking forward to his 2nd season upgrade.
White is an F runner. He's bottom of the leage in analytics. The only reason his ypc was respectable is because he's running behind an elite OL. It was 26% less than Irving and 44% less than Tucker.
This was NOT “coach speak” when Coen said something similar about our RB1 through week 14, Rachaad White
”
Obviously, Bucky [Irving] will be the guy coming in,” Bowles said. “Rachaad will play a ton, too. Depending on how the game goes is how you rotate and use them. I think Bucky knows more now mentally so he can handle more at the beginning of the season, and Rachaad’s always known more. And I think we gotta get Sean in there a little bit more, as well. Because he’s a heck of a runner for us and we got to play him a lot more than we played him in the past.”
but what about now?
These comments are concerning.

I'm not sure you can fucking read.
The offense carried the defense "all year" doesn't mean the offense scoring on every possession. It also doesn't mean they didn't have scoring droughts or lapses.
But the only times the offense "struggled" was when Godwin and Evans were out.
You also skimmed over my question so I'll ask it again.
Is it Coen calling poor run plays and White isn't to blame. Or is Coen calling the right play but he just needed to have HOFer Tucker in?
Can't be both... Man up and answer

F? Lol... He's not an F "runner". Runner isnt a position. Running back is the position and it requires more than "running".
Let me know if you need other positions explained to you as well.
Unless we're just judging QBs based on completion percentage and calling them "throwers".
Running back is the position and it requires more than "running".
Yet, the former "NFL GM" can't seem to grasp that concept.
Dipshit status.

46% run is too low for this offense. Irving and Tucker carries only accounted for 24% of the offensive snaps despite a 5.6 combined ypc. White playing "a ton" will mean too many passes and wasted runs.

This stat reads like "Kobe Bryant and Rick Fox combined to average 40 pts a game" so get them both more shots.
Too many shots were going to Shaq because he couldn't hit FTs.

We saw what a backfield of just Irving and Tucker can do. Let me guess, 44 offensive points dOeSnT cOuNt

Back to the New Orleans game?

Dude it's one fucking game, jfc.
Tucker is a good RB. He had a great game vs the worst run defense in the league. He cashed in big on the last drive during garbage time.
The same garbage time you complained about during the Chargers game.
Nobody thinks he's bad he's just not what YOU think he is...
White is a better all around RB
Dude it's one fucking game, jfc.
But it was one helluva game. It took an undrafted scrub from being unfairly buried on the depth chart to being the love-child of Emmitt Smith/Jamal Lewis and latest member of the JC HOF. You really can't discount that type of performance.

Tucker had over 100 yards and a TD before the last drive. I never complained about the Chargers carries, I simply pointed out that he did in fact get garbage time carries that brought down his ypc, which you initially denied.
I'm looking at a team from the past right now that also had two excellent backs. 48% of their offensive snaps were handoffs to these two, and they went 14-2 and 7-3 in one score games.
Rachaad White is a net negative to the offense. The evidence is there. You just don't like it.
