Air Raid Now!

[HelmutVII]

a passing game and a air raid is not the same thing. we need the passing game to mature. but we really need to find 5 guys that can push the opposing dline off the ball. it is our no. 1 biggest problem right now

What he said. The OL needs to get better quick or we won't win many ( if any) games the rest of the season.

So we’re going to install a brand new offense and philosophy this week and just roll with it the rest of the season?

That should work well.

[CajunNation]

Doesn’t have to be that way. I’m not saying we try to install Leach’s playbook today, but we need to focus HEAVILY on a passing game that can move the chains.

There are formations and routes of the Leach offense that would work for us. We can tailor our current playbook a little each week for this.

It’s more about finding an identity. Shifting focus. This can be done.

Once we make them respect it, you’ll see some runs get popped…and the train will be back on track.

Our o-line’s pass protection is far from perfect but is leaps and bounds above the run protection. Leaning on the passing game could help to get defenders out of the box and build some confidence playing to strengths for I’m sure a unit that is a little down at the moment.

CN’s point about identity is the biggest thing. Every time this year when our O seems to find a little bit of one we lean the opposite direction. Examples:
1. Yesterday we’re spreading the ball around with Chandler marching the field. All of a sudden we bring Ben in and tighten up the offense.
2. Rice game on the opposite end of the spectrum. We are finally having a sustained drive with runs. Not gashing them but 4 to 5 yard a pop. All of a sudden we throw to the end zone twice from 3rd and 1 and turn it over.

We’ve been spoiled by several years of NFL RBs on our roster. They’re not coming down that tunnel Saturday. We have to give our guys a fighting chance.

And lineman

South AL is giving up 83 yards a game rushing. Maybe we will try to air it out.

Dual threat QB.

Dual threat QB.

You mean dual QBs threaten our game plan?

No. Dual threat QBs can positively impact your run game, help move the chains, give your defense time to rest. We have 3 sitting the bench today. I seriously doubt we'll see this happen soon, but definitely if the Ls continue and O-line blocking doesn't improve significantly.

Chriss has to be the man next year.

That seems to be the consensus, but I'm also interested in seeing Hunter Herring develop. Of course, that's assuming LL2 remains at WR.
