I agree that JT is special but i don't give a damn who the back is, we should physically dominating teams and running on anyone. We were starting to do it with Mack and were doing it with JT last year BUT it was the line that set the tone. I thought the idea was to get an identity as as smash mouth team, one that can win in shit weather in December on the road. Wentz actually made some sense as that teams QB. He is though as nails physically and can play well within a team framework, at least he did for a few games with us. He sucks at hero ball. We knew this before he got here yet in the biggest game here he is being asked to play hero ball. WTF? Omaha has rightly pointed out that having Pacscal as our second wide receiver for this long is malpractice-it is even worse if you don't run the ball as this guys best attribute is his down field blocking. I hope they get back to running the football, no matter who they play or who the back is. If they were not going to do this they should be spending money and draft capital differently.
Which has emerged as a primary complaint for those most vocal in opposition to Reich. We DID have this mentality, we WERE bullying. Then, suddenly, he seems to have decided our identity, is to be crafty, to do the non-traditional. Seemingly it is HIS identity now and that is costing us ballgames. It needs to stop, Ballard, Irsay, whoever needs to sit on him and stop this gimmicky try to outthink them bullshit!
