Warren, Taylor and Defense

Similar to the 4th down thread... this team doesn't need Steichen to prove that he is bringing anything novel to the NFL coaching profession, he needs to execute with the pieces he has.

Everything should flow through the run game. Anyone who says different is itching for a fight.

The problem with a just run the ball mentality is that we saw the results with Carson Wentz under Center. You look great until defenses start loading up the box.

Yesterday, Taylor looked great, gaining 250 plus yards. But, he needed 31 carries to do it, and that is, frankly, unsustainable.

They’re not requiring him to do that every game. He’s had atleast 2 games I can think of he barely played in the 4th quarter.

Teams just are not built to stop the run anymore that’s why a good oline and Jonathan Taylor go a long way in today’s NFL.
