Why haven’t they fired Butler yet? Oh no?

Or perhaps his interactions with other coaches. Heard something about he and Fichtner not exactly seeing eye to eye. But the running game sure as hell wasn't the problem.

People keep saying that but we were 31st ranked. Not Connor's fault or even JaySam but whose fault is it? Was it the play calling the game circumstances or maybe something else.

Interesting. I wonder where they were ranked in attempts, I would assume close to last.

They barely even tried to run the ball over much of the second half of the season. Clearly the game plan/play calling.

When you don’t run the ball, your run production is low.

Abandon the run and have the STAR RB get hurt and out last few games........................**** yea, 31st it is. Now if the game plan would be more balanced and still 31st............then the RB coach should be looked at heavily. I think there was more to it than just the 31st designation. If Rooney bought into that designation with out looking deeper into it then shame on him.

Couple writers have noted, Saxon was in the booth. So this may be part of the replay review consideration. Dale Lolley also has commented Saxon is Arians pick for his staff at TB.

The running game was 31st 100% because of coaching and play calling. When we came in the game with an intention to run, we did and we lit things up. When we came in and went wide right off the bat, we barely ran. Saxon and the RB's have no control over that. Plus, look at the rushing TD's Conner got in that limited use.
