5 Wide Sets

Yeah, let's make it a staple of offense to leave Cam hung out to dry behind a bad OL in five wide sets.

It might work if we had 5 actual WRs on this team but we don't. The serious lack of talent is dreadful. As of now a 5 wide set would be Moore,CMC, Samuel, and joes. That's if you really consider Samuel a WR and not a gadget guy. We need OL help bad and also every where else on the offensive side of the ball. Hurney/Rivera screwed this team big time.

I actually like our skill position weapons. Ideally I'd like to see us add one WR with some size who could develop into a starter opposite Moore but Moore looks like a stud. CMC is an all-timer. Samuel has talent and was open deep a ton this year, we just didn't have a QB who could get him the ball. Wright is a decent #3/4 WR. Thomas at this point is probably a more dynamic player than Olsen.

Yes, the line sucks but there's talent to work with at the skill positions.

Samuel has had way to many drops and wrong routes run and our new system will be all about timing. He will definitely need to pick it up. After that it's a bunch of guys who have been mediocre or just not played. Thomas might turn out dynamic but mentally he seems lost even last year. I would rather bring in a vet TE to give Cam a safety valve that he can trust. Maybe the players are there but I really don't think we had a horrible offensive staff in the Turner's.

You better have a good Oline to run this offense in the nfl. 

Oh haven’t you heard? We have a great one, that’s why we can draft a WR in the first and not worry about it at all. Its gonna be awesome cause the centers leg will heal and he’ll develop chemistry he never seemed to have all year, and the two guys who are rookies will look much better than they did when they were getting run over, and the former Pro Bowl guard will return to form cause when all that other stuff happens he’ll somehow magically stop also looking like ass. Oh and Moton will play just solid enough to earn a new contract but not good enough that someone else will offer him a better one.

Also GVR is pretty good at pulling, so we got that going for us.

IMO, for the most part, their play selection sucked.

Lost count on just how many drives began with CMC up the middle for 2.  And don't forget those 4 games we lost because of lack of misdirection on goal to go series getting stuffed.

Glad they're gone.  We can use some Baylor imagination.  We have (with Cam back...oops, can I say his name?) plenty of talent at the skill positions; what we need are blocking and more clever play selection.  Easier to find them than skill players.

    • Hmmm... not a good start. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but after the guy who has been carrying your offense expresses frustration with his sudden lack of use and your HC just blows it off and confirms they haven't even talked, your PR team decides to use the guy who should be his backup as their poster boy hyping this week's game? Yikes. Hard not to interpret that as another slap in the face.
    • For some reason this is becoming a disturbing trend in the NFL. Teams are shutting down one part of their offense without causation from the opposition. Shane Steichen did it an overtime loss against Kansas City last week with the best back in the NFL. Pete Carroll allowed Chip Kelly to completely abandon the run game against Dallas the week before he was fired in Oakland as the OC. Matt Lafleur abandoned the pass instead choosing to rely on a bottled up run game when we clearly were having issues with the passing game. Big brain play callers some of them HCs are what the league wanted along with high powered offense and these dudes are making some of the dumbest situational calls I've ever seen. At least most of them are young and can learn, Canales included. I remember Norv Turner trying to throw the ball around the yard in a certain SuperBOWL, going in at halftime down 13-6. Emmitt Smith said get me the d*mn ball and took over in the 2nd half. Remember Kyle Shanahan in the 2nd half vs. the Patriots? This shite happens to the best and the brightest. We are just actively seeing it play out in real time just like Atlanta and Dallas fans before us.  Also, not saying Canales is going to become either of those, just begging/hoping for our sanity he gets his shite together if he's going to be our HC.
