Foster

His running game is the key to the rest of our season I believe. If he keeps running the ball with conviction them we have a good shot to win out.
1. With Foster playing so well how many carries should Coker get?
2. With Ainge playing so well do we throw less if Foster keeps it up?

With Foster and Hardesty running well it's hard to see replacing either with Coker. If he works himself into that position then fine but don't do it just to get him in the game.

I like our new found running game. If it's working there is no reason why we shouldn't just pound it.

having three serviceable backs is helping immensely. I think it is called depth.

Well finevol. I think we need to find a way to get coker on the field. He has gamebreaking speed and it shouldn't be wasted on the sidelines. Get him some snaps anywhere and as many as possible. Foster has stepped it up. Hardesty if he stays healthy is the key to our run game remaining effective. The flow of the game will determine whether we run or pass. We've been balanced and i hope we remain that way. If we can obviously outmuscle a opponent then we should do so. The staff and ainge has done well taking what the defense gives. But attacking in my mind is a better plan.

I think the most impressive thing is the fact we can line up on 3rd and 1 or 2. Say "we're running the ball. Actually, we're running at you #97, and you can't stop us". Then we run it right at them and get 4 to 5 yards.

I think they'll start trying to work in Coker. He is a weapon that needs to be utilized, but he's just simply not producing as a dedicated runner, and that's the way he was last year. He'd get a bunch of 2-3 yard runs, then hit a 70 yarder, and pull his average over Foster. Then people think he's a more productive runner than Foster, which he isn't, but the stats paper doesn't portray that correctly.
