So I guess you can tell that I don’t think our issues trail back to play calling but rather to execution. However, I will remain hopeful. At this point it can’t be worse, right.

Guys and gals, I hope that I am WRONG in my (long standing) opinion of Bryce. While I really do think he is a very nice, sincere and articulate young man, you all know my feelings about him as a NFL qb. Please please please be wrong (again) First!
Hey First...
We are not far apart on a lot of things. So, I agree with a lot of this. I will contend however, that our Offensive play-calling is crap on 1st & 2nd down (mostly). We can't fool anyone by always running the ball on 1st and 2nd down straight up the gut. We need variation. Go play-action; Run outside the Tackles; Use RPO; Sprint out; and YES, drop-back passes too. Use screens and Jet sweeps. Do SOMETHING that the OPFOR is not expecting. It doesn't always have to be "...two yards and a cloud of dust" -- or WORSE, forcing the RB to try to run "over" his O-Line.
When they are "stacking the box", do something different. The height of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.
