The thing is we don't need Ray to be the playmaker... We know/knew It was Beanie who would make or break this offense. With Beanie running as hard as he has it's taken so much pressure off boeckman to perform. I love this offense and maybe even more than last years offense. I like this years offense more because they are much more methodical and demorilizing than last years. This years team is physically bigger than last years! The oline is basically the same but is just more veteran and are even bigger than last years. The tight ends are truely a part of the offense and we go 2 tight ends often and both of them are glorified Offensive Tackles (especially Ballard). We have bigger Tailbacks, bigger fullbacks, and even bigger recievers.
THis years offense is about playing physical, time of possession, picking up small chunks of yards, and being EFFICIENT! I love seeing the 6-8 yards we rip off on runs, and then seeing the Playaction pass overtop.
We can hit them quick, we have the threats to take it all the way, but we chose to grind it out.
Funny quote off a commercial ... "who are you calling a cooty quenn you link licker" I dunno if its the beer or is that actually funny?
