    I really liked running hard with the double tight formation and running play action off of it. We’ve been needlessly cute with the play calling. The team responds to the power identity and the running is strong enough to open up the passing. Just stick with it and go lateral occasionally not integrally.

    Unfortunately Pete's always been uncomfortable with 2nd & long - which is anything over 3.5 yards, and always calls a pass play that rarely succeeds and results in 3rd & long where he has to pass. Play calling kills more drives than mistakes and lack of execution.
    This.

    Our production on 2nd down, especially 2nd & long, even on that successful opening drive was fucking atrocious.

    12 personnel definitely works for us. 21 personnel not so much. Social Justiss Warren just isn't that good and most of our RBs are better on stretch plays. Meanwhile we have two really good TEs in Otton and Kizer behind a pretty decent senior in Sample.

    We can run outside zone out of 12, we're more of a threat to throw out of it, and you can even run a wham out of it if you want to go downhill or just punish teams trying to get upfield to stop the stretch plays.
