I do however disagree with burning the entire playbook. I think a committed effort to RUN THE DANG BALL would do WONDERS for our playbook. Frankly I think that's what Sean means about being less predictable. We need to have the ability to run when Jimmy is in the game. We need to have the ability to run when either PT, Khiry, or Mark is lined up. We are too predictable based on our offensive packages. At least that's my armchair opinion, which is all I have to offer.

I think if we make a concerned effort to get some people who truly excel on the offensive line so many of our problems go away. The ceiling is "cathedral" for our defense.

I'm very excited about next season already.

Agreed about the playbook. I'd guess 90% of the playbook contain plays that every team runs.

I don't think the plays are the problem as much as the predictability of the play calls.

Like you said, if we have success running the ball the opposing teams can't just sit back in soft zones and nickel defenses waiting for that inevitable mistake.
