[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 66252, member: 1451"] Now [U]that[/U] sounds like a winning game plan! With regard to the rushing/passing issue, I think something to keep in mind is that—as several people have pointed out here, and CPJ is always ready to remind us—there is a big difference between "passing because we [I]can[/I], to open up the game" and "passing because we [I]have[/I] to, to get out of a hole". It is perhaps an irony that failing to achieve the former is one of the things that contributes the latter. In games where we are doing the latter, we generally lose. Big passes scattered here and there—at [I]our[/I] choosing—are what open up our options with the option (so to speak), by keeping the opposing defense uncertain. I'd like to see us come out in the first few games grinding out long drives on the ground, with a sprinkling of just a few passing plays—most/all of which lead to big gains, but none of which were really "needed" passing plays. I'd like to see our passing efficiency high enough that, as we head into the conference schedule, the smarter DCs of our opponents are thinking "Uh-oh", while the rest are (erroneously) thinking "So what? That won't work against [I]us[/I]…" TLDR: I want to see just enough passing to make our bread-and-butter option offense [I]shine[/I]... [/QUOTE]
