Penalized for having a good running game?

Penalized for having a good running game?

Postby bioeagle » Sat Jan 09, 2021 7:41 pm

I've noticed this multiple times and I don't understand it. It happened again this week for my Browns in the WWPF. I love running the ball. I have multiple good running backs. Hershberger ran the ball 13 times in the first half for 137 yards. There is no reason why he should suck so bad in the second half. Every time he got the ball in the second half he was sooooo slow and most of the time he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage (watching it in 2D). In the second half he ran the ball 14 times for -10 yards. How does this make any sense? If there is going to be a penalty for having a good first half, why have a team who likes to run the ball? I've seen this many times. If this can't be fixed, why can't my 2nd RB and 3rd RB get more carries in the second half? 13 carries should ABSOLUTELY NOT make a RB sooooo tired he is worthless.

I'll have to look at it closer.

Could just be a marvelous half time adjustment by the defense man. I've watched countless football games where what was working in the first half for a team didn't do squat in the second half.

It happens.

The END of your offensive line could play a part as well. Looking at your roster your linemen have endurance as follows; I listed them in order of what I would assume to be the starters first.

C - 74, 67
G - 92, 72, 44
T - 63, 69, 68
