I am intrigued by our new 3 headed power rushing backfield with Pacheco, Perine and Steele. However, I worry that Andy just will not stick to a power rushing gameplan.

Hard to be a power running team when you almost always operate outta shotgun. I do NOT hope we run very much but I hope we run MORE on short yardage and do NOT run out of shotgun as much in these downs. With Steele and Perine now we have a better opportunity to do that. [Reply]

This is a pass first team in a pass first league.
Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust Schottenheimer agrees :-):-):-) [Reply]

I just hope we run effectively. We can't be getting stuffed on 3rd and 1 and we have to get 4+ on first downs. [Reply]

I want Pacheco to be the RB on most drives, Steele should get a couple of drives to give him a breather, and Perine can have a few 3rd down plays. Snap distribution should be like this

I'm assuming what is meant by power rushing gameplan, that when it is 2nd/3rd and 1, everyone would be confident that the run game could just drive straight forward and pick up the first down without the need for a bunch of strange formations, movements, or gimmicks. I'm all for it. [Reply]

Let him have it on 3rd and short. We've sucked hard on 2nd and 3rd and short. Steele might be the answer. [Reply]

Oh, well yeah...I cringe in those short yardage situations when I start seeing a ton of shifts and movement, then it gets blown up in the backfield (or a false start). I know it's blasphemy after what happened that game against Green Bay, but I'd like to see the sneak put back in the playbook *runs and takes cover* [Reply]
This team will be unbeatable if we can run the ball effectively. Helps the passing game, helps the defense. I didn’t think we would ever keep a fullback again but I was wrong. I didn’t think they could find a better third down back than McKinnon but I was wrong. This team with an ability to consistently run the ball opens up so many passing yards it’s crazy. Plus it keeps mahomes healthy and Kelce young. [Reply]

Andy should absolutely run the ball on some of those downs bc the boxes will be super light.
He did that pretty well in 2022 and I expect it to happen again
Nope. Because that takes away from a play we could pass. [Reply]
