Haack to start; both QBs to play

The QB doesn't have to go for 75 yards every time he keeps it for it to be effective. Fastest guy on the field is worthless if he makes the wrong read half the time.

With Haack's skill set, the read option can successfully be used to keep the defense honest and every once in a while, a big play will break open. How about that 15 yard TD run against Monroe where he went in untouched?

Its not Haack's game but until our coaching staff decides to call plays to his strength, he will have to run the offense he is given.

I agree. He can be successful with it every once in a while.

He would have even better rushing numbers...as a running back. But...ya know...

How many wins has he gotten us? Or is this fantasy football we playing?

If Nixon's style limits a running back who last year had production better than Nixon's this year, and in fact drops them to within half a yard of Haack and Broadway. ... His rushing numbers are inefficient.

I give up. Everything is turned onto a Haack Nixon ____ing match with you guys. My point is Haack isn't going to be a scary QB running the zone read. He needs to be passing the ball 40 times a game if we want to maximize his effectiveness.

Have you ever considered you turn everything into a Nixon Haack ____ing match? He doesn't need to be scary... Pick up first downs and keep getting redzone TD's like he has when he keeps it. Make the defense respect it enough to get Eli some space. Just don't lose the game. The offense would evolve as he gets more comfortable and knows he won't be yanked after an incomplete pass.

Bingo. Is it really that complicated to some?

Good point.
