[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 629758, member: 1069"] I’ll throw in my two cents. 1. T. Oliver is the QB. Everyone else is a backup. You don’t have to say it since that may be counter to the ATL philosophy, but that is what needs to happen. 2. The TE needs to have only two spots in the formation and motion is limited to going from spot A to spot B. Use him a blocker with very limited passing catching responsibilities. The QB has three new receiver route trees to learn and a TE pass tree is just too much right now. 3. Adopt a simple ground package. Maybe midline, power, and jet sweep. These should be close enough to what the team is used to doing to be useable in a game. In practice, work on adding a zone read since that is probably where you want to be long term. 4. Reduce the number of formations. The shotgun single back is the base and the variations are TE left or right or replaced with a slot receiver. The receivers are trips right or left. 5. Install a jailbreak screen and bubble screen. With all the former AB on the roster, I’m shocked this isn’t a staple of the offense. Your playbook is to use the formation, screens, and the occasional deep pass to pull the defense from the LOS and then run when when once you get favorable numbers up front. Since the transition from the 3TO is asking the entire offense to move differently than what they are accustomed, we need a simple set of fundamental plays that can be repped continuously. Once the players the movements become second nature, then the specialty plays, alternate formations, etc. can be added. I feel like Patenaude, in the effort to fit an offense to the players, failed to create an offense. After evaluating the players in spring practice he should have decided on an offensive philosophy and a set of plays. At that point, he should have begun fitting players to offense. Fall practice should have been purely focused on identifying which players are best suited for which role. In other words, spring was for fitting the offense to the players and fall was for fitting the players to the offense. [/QUOTE]
