We are supposed to be a run first team.

Obviously this is not who we are when Cam is injured and cannot run.

 

Is it time for us to focus on the passing game? Instead of running the ball up the middle for 1-2 yards, why not try a quick pass or screen as substitute?

 

I hate to say it because I do enjoy those physical games where the running backs take over, but we don't have those players at running back or O-line. So I say we move to an offence that works through the air. Roll Cam away from pressure (because our O-line sucks too much to expect a traditional pocket), and let Cam work the field. He has shown that he can move the ball through the air. We are just getting killed by drive-stopping runs for zero to little gain.

 

I no longer expect our running backs to break one for a touchdown on any play; I haven't felt that way since 2011. At this point, I have more hope that Benjamin, Cotchery, Avant, Bersin, Philly, or Olsen will make a nice reception with some YAC.

 

We do not have a physical offence. Our second TE gets almost no significant time. We cannot run the ball with authority (anything more than a three yard rush is a welcome surprise for us now). Why not switch to a more finesse offence? Let Williams and Stewart work against a D that respects the pass, thus opening up lanes for them instead of forcing them to make things happen. Williams has always been a threat in the screen game, and Stew is great with the read option (which NEEDS to come back as something to at least get Cam involved in the running game).

 

 

Basically, why not run a spread offence which Cam seems to be better suited for?

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
