00:00I hate that phrase.
00:01Oh, it's sourced.
00:02They had five yards on their last five carries, okay?
00:04So they stopped running it effectively.
00:06That was the problem.
00:07They couldn't run the ball, so they stopped running it,
00:10which is not a bad thing necessarily.
00:12But I do think there's a little bit of truth to the fact
00:15that they should have run it a little bit more as the game went on.
00:17And what I mean by that is, if you look at their last 42 plays,
00:20they had 42 plays after their touchdown a minute into the second quarter.
00:2341, not counting the spike at the end of the game.
00:26True plays, 41.
00:2830 of those 41 were designed passes, or were passes,
00:33and only 8 of the 41 were designed runs to running backs.
00:368 of 41 against a team that's pinning its ears back,
00:39against a team with Miles Garrett,
00:40against a team where your plan is literally Coleman's going to block this guy one-on-one.
00:44You have to help him.
00:45You have to take your medicine a little bit and run the football
00:48just to keep Miles Garrett from getting up the field.
00:53They stopped doing it.
00:54And I know five carries, five yards.
00:56I'm not one of the people screaming, run the ball all the time.
00:58But they ran the ball six times on first down,
01:02once on second and three.
01:04They didn't get it, by the way.
01:05They got one yard.
01:06And then once on third and one for zero.
01:10So I know that you can't run it well,
01:11but to run it eight times on your final 41 plays
01:15is probably a few too few.
01:17It's probably a few too few.
01:17It's probably a few too few.
