Here's a question...how many times would you have preferred Taylor call runs early in the game before he realized it wasn't going to work? Marv would have called a lot and not been very successful. Belichick adapts to the teams he plays and sometimes (against Pitt especially) he completely ignores the running game and throws the ball all over the place (ok look...forget the Brady part of this).
I'd rather have Taylor emulate BB and not Marv.
I think there will be more runs against the 'niners. Home game and whatnot. They will at least be more willing to try harder to run, being at home--i believe.
Great post. Have seen the Pats pass the ball like 14 times in a row to start out a game because that Defense wasn't
good against the pass. You do what works against the team you are playing against. You don't just run it cause you
think you are a running team, you run it when it works, just like you pass it when it works.
Taylor knows this, I can tell.
I just want to see our O-line run block better, that is all.
