Title: Daniel Running 27 Times
Post by: steve dave on October 09, 2013, 09:08:34 AM
I don't like this. I mean, I love it because it is our most effective offense and he exciting to watch but I don't like it because I don't want him to be broken down like Collin was. What do we do though? just suck mostly?  :frown:

it worries me too, steve. seems unsustainable. we absolutely need to get the RBs more involved if we dont want to see jake waters starting again by end of the season.

OK, it's 3rd and 6. Daniel can probably get this first down 90% of the time but we've ran him 28 times already. Or, we can hope that Curry Sexton can shake his defender and get open which is going to happen 0.0005% of the time.  :frown:

Hey steve dave on that 3rd and 6 scenario, let's just use Klein. Kyle Klein, that is.  :gocho:

Bill being Bill.

Klein averaged 24 carries a game two years ago. 7 games with at least 25 carries.

Last year down to 16 carries a game and only 1 game with 25 carries.

Hopefully they find a way to get that down to under 20 per game.

it is a concern but Sams doesn't take nearly as many straight on shots as Klein did.  He's just got a different more elusive running style.  Still I would think Hubert would see more carries with Sams in the game then what he did last week.  He's shown he can be an effective runner when he's paired with a good running QB.

Some of you guys can't be pleased. "Oh running Jake 18 times is too much, run Sams!" "Oh Sams running 25 times is too much, don't run him so much!"

I haven't broken it down yet, but it will be interesting to see the number of QB lead/power plays we ran vs options and scrambles/sacks. My impression is that most of it was QB run plays for Sams.
Title: Re: Daniel Running 27 Times
Post by: TownieCat on October 09, 2013, 09:37:48 AM
I don't mind Sams running 20 times a game if he gets out of bounds more. According to the play-by-play from OSU he only did this 3 times. Unless it's a 3rd or 4th down situation where we have to get the extra yard, I'd prefer if he got his ass out of bounds so we don't see #15 trot out ever again.

Now that Sams can throw in a game, it is a perfectly reasonable stance.

I think CK's carries correlated with the trust the staff had in him to throw and the same will apply with Sams.  Maybe moreso.  My advice to Daniel is to use the spin move in open field situations rather than close to the LOS.

Sams needs to run outside the tackles, Hubert needs to run inside the tackles.

Yes, that is a big part of it. Klein averaged 21.6 attempts in 11 and 23.4 in 12.

Hubert's carries went down last year; from 15.4 in 11 to 14.5 in 12. Currently at 13 carries per game this year.

I am going under the assumption that we didn’t see the option against OSU because we really didn’t see it (with much success) last year against OSU, iirc.  We had some success with CK running QB sweeps/draws (when he wasn’t getting concussed).

 Against Baylor we didn’t really do much successful – but as I remember it our coaches lost their bladder early after Baylor scored at will and had CK chucking it around and throwing INT’s instead of just running it.  Phil’s going to man up and bring pressure, for the life of me why we can’t throw a RB screen (which we actually did last game) or a trips WR jail break screen is beyond me.  Especially with Sams at QB.

Sams ran several read options vs Texas, he did make a few mistakes in his reads though, so that could be part of it. I think we'll see more as the year goes along.

Good question. Sams did run one speed option vs UT, but there was a penalty, otherwise I don't think he's run another one all year.

options (with a pitch) have the highest chance of a TO. I think that's why we've seen less and less of it in Synder 2.0 compared to 1.0.

As Snyder would say, we will take what the defense gives us. If that means Sams has to run the ball 40 times because he is averaging 5.5 YPC, so be it.

Sams is built to take punishment. Klein was tall, lanky and looked extremely fragile, however, the guy had bull testicles and a tolerance for pain unlike any other.

To dumb this down, no I'm not concerned about Sams running the ball 20+ times at this point in his career or at this point in our season. He's not a pussy and he can handle the load. He's built to juke LBs and smash D-Backs.

Sams running style is what has me concerned with regard to injury.  Everybody talks about the plant-foot juke, but that is also how you get your knee/ankle blasted.  Klein was just such a physical bull; I don't think we can run Sams like we did Klein before he eventually gets (at the least) dinged up.  That is what has me concerned about this weekend.  Our only option is to run Sams a lot.  Baylor knows this.  We are going to do it anyway.  Irresistible force v. immovable object (or whatever the hell that saying is)  Something has to give; hope it isn't Sams' body.
