"Let it fly".......or whatever works.

Seth has made NT a running offense....is this a result of QB passing confidence?

Even if we had a good QB, I still think we'd be a run first offense with our stable of backs.

Keep with it until it stops working. Or until it's 4th and 1.

Maybe be a little more patient getting back to the line on a few plays, though, and give the defense a breather.

What kills me is that we refuse to get under center and run QB sneaks when we need less than a yard. Anyone notice Philly do it a few times last night? It's impossible to stop if you line 2 backs behind the QB and have them push forward.

From the "Could you imagine" files  -- Mason With this O-line and Running backs

Also from the “could you imagine” files, Aune throwing to 3 future NFL receivers with a NFL running back lined up next to him. Sure would make those bad passes more catchable.

If you are averaging 10.1 yards per carry you’d be a fool to pass the ball even with Tom Brady or Peyton Manning throwing it.

Good receivers have nothing to do with overthrown and balls in the dirt. If our current receivers had a Fine-caliber QB throwing to them, I think some would also make the NFL. Actually I think regardless, Shorter could make it.

Listen, we could have prime Calvin Johnson and prime Randy Moss out there and it wouldn't change the location of the ground.

I think we do have some good running backs, but let us also tip the cap to the usually forgotten big bellies. 

I have to admit, I was concerned with Duncan at RT, but he has played extremely well.  The entire line has been a bright spot.

100% agree and outside of his escapability, Mike Evans won Johnny Manziel the Heisman.

I heard someone on what the broadcast say something like a great receiver can make an average quarterback look great but an average quarterback will make a great receiver look average.

I have always wondered about a school like Ohio State that always has incredible receivers. Their quarterbacks are always talked up but few (of their QBs) seem to do anything in the NFL.

"Helping the runner" rules...

"The penalty in college and high school was later reduced to 10 yards, and finally 5 yards. The NFL and CFL continued with the foul as 10 yards. In 2005, the National Football League made the penalty only for pulling and carrying, removing the flag in cases of pushing. The NCAA followed in 2013. Pushing still remains illegal in high school games."
