IMO we need to get the deception back in our running game. Pass to set up the run and then call the draws and cutbacks and counters. Also work in the end-around (or fake-end-around) once in a while and see which new WR can do it. Or let Sproles be the end-around man.

Now that we have Watson we can pass out of running formations better and then run out of passing formations with mostly Sproles. It isn't rocket science :)

No more of this empty backfield crap unless absolutely necessary.

What Denver is moving to is running back by committee, but they are doing it by possession instead of swapping out RBs in the middle of drives on specific down and distance.

With Ingram running that screen in preseason and we already know PT and Sproles can run it we may be moving in the same direction.

No huddle, hurry up not changing out RBs may help all of our RBs specifically Ingram as it adds some more guessing then seeing them swapped out at specific D&D.

I had not thought about this possibility, but it makes some sense to me. The thought of it actually excites me a bit, as it should our RBs as well. I love the thought of letting a RB get into a groove on a possession. I do think that Sproles would still be sprinkled in sporadically in certain d&d scenarios though.

He will but Sproles is so dynamic that its really tough to know whats going on when he is on the field.. Run, scree, pass, he does them all very well. This may be more to help Ingram.
