offensive changes...

[Mr. Laz]

1. Be aware that wiegmann isn't a power center and the running game needs to be of the sweep,trap and pulling variety.

2. goodbye Kris Wilson. He brings nothing to the offense that another player can't do better. Gonzo is a better tightend, Priest is a better runner and receiver out of the backfield. Bring in Grigsby for extra blocking or if he sucks then don't use a fullback ... just add another wide receiver or tightend.

3. Start calling 2 plays in the huddle ... 1 run play, 1 pass play. I've seen defenses with 9 players in the box. Croyle needs to go to the line of scrimmage and look at the defense .... then hand signal and/or call out which of the 2 plays should be run. At least this will not have us running into a brick wall.

4. offense 101 ..... run when they expect pass, pass when they expect run. This is the best thing we can do to help our offensive line.

5. offense 101 (part 2) when a defense stacks the box and SWING pass does NOT count as an effective counter measure. We must thrown the ball past the 9 men in the box to get the needed results.

6. offense 101 (part 3) Running the ball 35 times and throwing the ball 35 times in a game is still not a balances offense IF you don't add unpredictability into the equation. running the ball 35 times in a row and then throwing it 35 times in a row is meaningless. Running it on every 1st down or throwing it on every 3rd down and you might as well just tell the defense your plays before you run them.

7. Must improve stretching the defense .... stretch is sideline to sideline and vertically down the field on a consistant basis if we are going to start dictating to the defense instead of letting them dictate to us.

8. formations .... we also need to change personnel groups more to force the defense to adapt as well. 2 wideouts ... 3 wideouts ... 4 wideouts ... 5 wideouts. 3 tightends. It keeps the defenses guessing and can cause sloppy mistakes.

9. Stay aggressive ... if your offense plays scared, if your Quarterback plays scared then you have probably already lost.


Have a Good Day!
