I agree, but the formula and style Peterman is using should keep us in every game. I think it's fair to expect improvement too.DerekJohnson said:Against better defenses we're going to be in trouble with no running game.
Don't get me wrong, I'm feeling great this evening. I'm enjoying this one. -
As soon as he takes off with throwing as still an option, I feel very uneasy.biak1 said:I'd like to see Miles run more by design to relieve some pressure on the throwing game, when he scrambles he seems to lose more yards than he gains.

Our defense will have to hold the opposition in check and give the offense a chance against the better teams. I too hope the offense under Miles improves some, but I think our season record is on the back of the defense.

Coleman and DW went 26 for 116. Not great but good against a team that is half decent against the run.
Pac12 stats against the run show Utah, Stanford, UW, Arizona, Cal, Oregon as the top 6. After next week, there are 6 games left and only 1 of those teams has a rush defense in the top half of the conference. Getting Riva back might also help the run game.
I agree with VegasDawg…the defense will have to stand up against the best offenses. -
Seems like most everyone sees this the way I do. The running game is OK. Just OK though. Overall the offense is just not real good. Mediocre I guess. There really aren't any playmakers on it outside of Ross. Both RBs have some nice features, but have something missing from their game and seem to come up a yard or two short on plays that Polk and Sankey (and plenty of other complete RBs) always got the extra yard. Mickens is just decently quick and very unphysical, Campbell is slow as mud as is K. Williams. I like the receiving talent at TE and we're going to see some big plays from Perkins and Daniels over the course of the season. Someone needs to pick it up outside and Miley needs to stop retreating and taking an extra 8 yard loss every time a blitz gets home up the middle.

I would like to see them work more on the zone read and option plays. I have much more confidence in that right now than putting it on the QB's shoulders and making him throw. Cal's defense sucks, so I'm not reading much into Miley's performance.

I'm starting to think Peterman was a good hire.
If we are worried, he sees it and is game planning.
For the first time in years I am looking forward to seeing how we stack up against Oregon. -
Oregon seems to have gotten healthy on UCLA, we might be catching them at the wrong time.topdawgnc said:I'm starting to think Peterman was a good hire.

Disagree. They'll be overconfident.PurpleReign said:
