If so then you are right, next year will be fun (we should have the receivers by then and the line will hopefully be less banged up). I do like Reich. He has the things in a man that cannot be learned. Integrety, honesty etc. I just wish he would run the damn ball more.

I don't understand what happened? When he came in, we became a bully. We had that Run the Damn Ball mantra and we just roughed people up. Then something changed and he became much more about the tricky guy than the we'll just beat your ass guy.
As for the 3,4 runs and changing the game. Not saying any of those 3 or 4 would have been home runs, not any more than you can say all of them would have been 2 yards or less. But I do believe that just a couple hand offs MIGHT have kept the DE just a fraction of a second slower on the edge rush and helped prevent Fisher from getting bitch-made.
FWIW, I guess before we just pulled the plug on the running game JT was still averaging like 3.4 per. That's a first down in 3 runs, yeah yeah yeah I know, not how it works. That said, with this OL and JT, I will lay money on them getting the job done over a certain # of touches vs not getting it done.
