[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 820302, member: 857"] Thoughts on offense: I wanted to come out and establish the run game. We had several successful runs early but drives were frequently stopped when we were unable to execute lower percentage passing plays. Yes the plays were there and the receivers were running open. But the fact is we didn’t hit those lower percentage plays while our higher percentage plays were working well. I wanted to see a more methodical approach early in the game. Wear ‘em down a little, get a lead, then build off what’s working. Instead we went wide open and it blew up in our face. Particularly when the other team was successful early running the ball and winning TOP/wearing down our defense. I was cringing when Sims would drop back because I wanted us to keep running until they stopped it. Maybe we hit those passing plays in practice. However I feel there needs to be some recognition this is Game 1 and execution of complexity tends to be wanting for most EVERY team. Second, for running a spread offense we put remarkably little pressure on the perimeter both running and throwing. I loved the pitch to Dontae on 4th and 1. Other than an option play that worked pretty well I didn’t see us put the ball quickly out in space on the perimeter much. Why not make them defend a quick pitch to Gibbs? If they didn’t defend the play to Dontae why not run it again? Where were the WR bubble screens or other quick game plays to get the ball wide in a hurry? Good teams drive to run out the clock with a lead. We let them stuff us on two runs up the middle then tried a slow developing throw wide where our receiver goes out of bounds. [/QUOTE]
