Game Plan tweaks
 
Howdy y'all,

I was just thinking about game planning moving forward. Let me 1st state I am in no way campaigning or lobbying for a change at QB and certainly not after one bad game.

However it occurred to me that maybe Coach P could include Taysom more frequently while making sure not to over do it on trick or gadget plays. Taysom does have some unique skills which, in a game like today's I was thinking maybe SP could mix things up a bit more once it became obvious that not much was clicking or working on the offensive side of the ball.

Not suggesting a platoon thing @ QB either as I don't believe that approach works in the end; just give the opposing D something else to think about.

Curious what y'all might think about this.

Another play or two with Taysom may have helped yesterday I will agree. At least 75% of the problem yesterday though was the OL - not just the bad blocking but the overall execution. I think those back to back false starts that cost us a drive was the worst.

Not only that but the receivers couldn’t beat their men on 1v1. Which means that the opposing d can play man to man not have to play zone or have LB’s drop in coverage and safeties don’t have to respect you till they get beat so they can keep everything in front of them and blitz which they did. They saw they we weren’t getting open against GB and figured it was a glaring hole and exploited it.

Now add that with the sh*tty o-line play. You got a recipe for disaster. One of the best running backs in the league had 5 yards on 8 carries. That’s bad o-line play no hiding it

They were not only drive killers but emotionally deflating. The false starts were just the beginning of poor play by the O-line.

The false starts were not only a drive killer but it set the stage for the rest of the poor performance by the O-line.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!!!

Reuben, I think Payton heard you. He certainly got Taysom more involved last week and it paid off.
