We aren't good on first down. We aren't good in short yardage. We aren't good in the red zone and have gone to bringing in a whiffing FB and fucking option plays even though Gaskin is a proven stud in short yardage. We don't have confidence to throw into the middle of the field and employ our traditional WTE set. Jake can't throw deep well or accurately. We don't have a diverse running game that can deploy different types of direct and delayed runs depending on the game and opponent. The screen game is just inexcusably incompetent and we do not use fucking Saladin and Gaskin in tandem...ever. Our OL is severely struggling in pass protection, blitz recognition, and most basic elements of the run game.

I blacked out in the game thread but I think I made this point already and I'll say it again. What plays do we have in the playbook that are battle tested, reliable and proven? When we get behind by 10, or when we need a tough 3rd and 3 at the 50 yard line, what are the 2 or 3 plays we know are going to work to get into a rhythm or to build confidence and dig out of the hole?

I know some will argue that you cannot be predictable, and I understand that (DavidShawLaughing.gif), but our grab bag/wait until the defense sets & check with me/QB audible sandlot football will not get the job done at this level or against any opponent worth a damn. Fuck.
