It’s wild that CU in week 14 is still talking about personnel versus the ridiculous scheme they use for running. You have Daylan and Micah who are not the type of back Isaiah is yet you run them all using the same formations and you don’t think it’s the scheme…that is wild! You don’t have the hogs upfront to run between the tackles every play out of shotgun…could have presented other formations and designs that would have given a more efficient run game based on what you have upfront. The offense is just not designed where a running back that is good should choose CU. Unless they change that I don’t know how they expect to get that type of back. Hayden, Micah and Isaiah could have been used so much more proficiently than they were all season and the staff has yet to explain why they were not. Just keep saying “We are not consistent”…Why you’re the coach, who’s calling the plays each game where the run formations aren’t installed to your strengths? Mind Blowing.🤯
@ The scheme somewhat works with Augustave and you are right he doesn’t get enough touches. Earlier in the season when they ran a few different formations he really shined and scored (although in that game it was called back due to holding) but Flea is a head scratcher.
This scheme doesn’t work with Isaiah! This is not ideal for any running back. He just makes the most of it cause he’s strong and fast, the run scheme is bad and run blocking is too.
It's really tough to watch this team struggle running the ball and opposing defenses are starting to find success scheming around that. Throw away the win against Utah - #2 just threw up prayers on 3rd and 4th and long and most times those got answered. That won't always be the case. I hope that they are better in the run game in 2025.
I’m not gonna lie I like Charlie he gets more yards the few times he’s played then the others idk what he’s doing in practice but on the field we need to switch it up Hayden and Isiah are not those guys yeah Isiah had one big game but other then that him and Hayden both are bad and on top of that just because you get 5 carries and not end up with 10 yards total that doesn’t mean just completely stop the run game we have to keep going we need a running back to get a minimum of 20 carries a game I don’t care how many yards they end up with we need to commit to the run game and stop given up immediately when things don’t go right because when our passing game isn’t goin right we don’t just give up we keep trying until we get it
I actually feel bad for coach Flea. I can hear in his voice he is trying to say we cant run the ball because all they want to do is pass. BUUUUT when you dont play the best RB consistently YOU get the blame. You cant share carries, thats why the top 2 RBs that left CU have more carries and yards than your whole room combined
Ok, let's face fact! this is a pass first team and running is secondary. Once everyone faces that fact then they will stop bitiching about the running game. Get over it, if the coaching staff is happy with 50-100 yards a game running, then you should too. This was a 1-11, 4-8 team! Now they are on the verge of ending the season 9-3. Relax!
Some facts, they don’t have a leader in that room who consistently makes big plays. That’s why they have the system they have bc no one is actually producing to be the Dawg of the room. It has to be solidified at week 14. Yes they do run up the middle a lot, any plays that are to outside are given to the WR. There’s not enough presnap movement Berfore the play to cause confusion. And yes the backs are simply another blocker for shedeur. However, only bc the RBs have not showed any consistency that they can contribute in tough situations. The OL has the block perfectly in order for a big run to happen vs how other teams RBs just being purely dominant and complimenting the passing game. I think they need a new room, new backs pay 💰 for a top tier RB and create schemes for a run game rather than the bare minimum. They will not retain any serious talent in that room that wants to go to the nfl. Micah did great, shifty, and made big plays, Isaiah doesn’t explode through the line and the other guy haven’t created a name for himself. Out of 14 games it would only be a matter of time before they one big run…. One big vs one KU that broke our whole RB ground game yards in one game
At the end of the day ain’t no running backs gonna wanna stay and play with us after this year and especially next year won’t any wanna come because when your a running back and see a team that puts zero effort into running the ball like I looked at the last game against Kansas we have a total of 8 carries between the running backs that’s a damn shame and then we talk about the time of possession we had well damn we only ran the ball 8 times and 12 if you include shedeurs running the ball like any running back in the country keep seeing that over and over they ain’t gonna wanna play for us and it’s just gone make our run game worse and worse smh

The scheme works with Augustave, but we dont give him the most touches. EVERY POSITION HAS FOUND THEIR GUY EXCEPT FLEA

We run the ball well with Augustave but Flea wants to give people chances.

Use more tight ends to help block and stop running up the middle

New year. New RBs. Same story. His lead back has 300+ yards, how does he continue to have a job. If he wasn't Deion's buddy, he would've been fired.
Who is devising their run schemes? They try to run, but if they had to depend on it, they'd go 3 and out every possession
Time to replace him. He’s just riding coat tails.
Y'all run the ball straight up the middle and get nowhere over and over and over
NO, with Augustave they get the furthest. he should without a doubt get the Lions share
