How to get our offense not to suck in 5 steps

[Snake]

1. Give up the read option and commit to     moving the ball not running it. 

2. Move KB to the slot. Give him the               same routes as Olsen and profit. 

3. Let Samuel work on the outside. He         has speed and we need speed. 

4. Start McCaffrey over Stewart. We need heavy screens, wheel routes, and curl routes he brings. He will also be effective on draw plays. Our oline sucks at run blocking no need to fight it. 

5. Spread it out and speed it up. This team needs to wear down the defense and then in the 4th Stewart would be extremely effective. See new england and how Blunt would cut through teams in the fourth. 

 

There you go Shula. Your welcome.

KB can't play in the slot well. Funch can though.

And it's not that our OL is bad in run blocking, we should be very good. It's Shula's retarded play designs on run plays. Those plays where Stew lost like 7 yards (probably 3 of those plays in the Eagles game) it looked like our OL was blocking for a screen, not a handoff.

Agree with the rest.

I can fix our offense in one simple step: fire shula.

How do you know this? We have never used him in that role.

JR just called your fired and he's bringing back Zod to do it.

So you're saying we should use the modern NFL rules that advantage the passing game... to our OWN advantage?

That's just crazy talk.

It's not his skill set at all. You put a guy in the slot who is quick and can get good separation, and particularly guys who aren't as good fighting through a jam at the LoS. Since that position is lining up off the line it gives them more space to get open quickly. Someone like KB will just wind up getting jammed up there anyways and it would be counterproductive. KB excels winning matchup at the LoS.

Everyone complains about the read option....

but that has been our most consistent method to actually produce on the ground. Our traditional rush attack has been pathetic for years now....Cam at least can make plays and guys can off him (even if it isn’t consistent....it is more so than the traditional run)

See your thinking speed slot guy. I would use KB more close to the line and would put him on seam routes and curls. KB is not a one dimensional as you say he just is asked to do that. I think Funchess would be more functional at doing it but Funchess is just a better KB honestly. It's why we need more speed. I could really get in depth with this but want. Needless to say it want happen anyway.

It just might work though...

Activate Alex Armah on game days as our starting fb, maybe even line him up as te2 for time to time.  Start running the ball in i formation with armah as lead fb blocker.  More passing plays with cam under center. Run more from that and less from shtogun.  More qb rollouts out of play action. Heck just bring back the offense jake delhomme ran under dan henning. Pass on 1st down more often.  Line up our Christian Mccafery as a slot receiver.  If up by 14 or more points, on offense keep trying to get the ball in the endzone. Crush our opponents windpipe, and chop off their arms and legs...don't let them regenerate health like cod.

Not questioning that but you can't protect your QB and run the read option. It's also why the lineman get confused. We suck at running and don't want Newton taking hits so why even bother? Scrap it and simply the whole thing.
