I told SP to take the reigns off of Jameis and let him loose. Will he listen?

I mean, they could do different WR routes, slants and what not, and get Kamara more involved in the passing game.

I'd love to see an old fashioned Screen called like PT used to run.

Rather than the flare pass to Kamara who is then immediately surrounded by 3 defenders.

Yes! What the heck is this play and why do we do it so often?! We throw it to Kamara in the flat with no blocking in front of him and just expect him to break tackles? Drives me crazy every time.

As much as teams are keying in on Alvin Kamara, the play-action pass should be there...

I don't understand why we don't do more play action. Maybe it's because we are missing two starters on the O-line and it takes time to develop.

You're not doing shut-down blocking, more speed bump blocking, same as a screen; so I'd think what we have would get the job done...

I think Sean Payton heard me. Although, I wouldn't run play action from the end zone.
