This is a RB who in the prior years carried a crappy team to a 9-7 and 4-4 record before.

Here's what I do know:
-It's also the first time since 2005 that LJ will see less than 8 guys in the box
-Our offense, while effective, has been too reliant on the pass and while I like it that way, it's also led us to too many 2nd half 3-and-outs. I don't want to resort back to R2/P2, but clearly, this team will need to find some balance

I trust Gailey will figure something out. But you can't have LJ on the field and not find a way to get him involved in a very positive way. The hope is that he does real well from the shotgun--that would make our answer real easy. My guess is, though, that he's most effective when he gets a running start.
This offense hasn't led us to too many three and outs in the second half.

The dumbass in charge changing to a strategy of playing not to lose and becoming passive on offense is what has led to all those three and outs.
