[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 822339, member: 1376"] The improvement I want to see in the O play calling is to get the high percentage first downs. I am talking about the 2nd and 3 or 3rd and 2. In those situations we need to run the ball. Too often in those situations we have unsuccessfully passed and the result is a 4th down punt (often in 4th and 12). This has been a two+ year pattern with the play calling. Getting these high percentage first downs needs to be a priority. Short yardage run plays need to be quick and downhill up the middle or off tackle, not slow developing (those plays are for other situations). Play calling also needs a bigger variety of misdirection and options. And when the run is working stick with it until it gets stopped. Run the plays that might lose yardage on downs where you are not in the red zone close to the goal or in short yardage to get a first down. Stay away from hurryups and gimmicks near the goal. Mason, Mason, Mason and then option when you are out of downs and really need a big play. Try to get Gibbs and Donte in the open field and wear them down with Mason in the middle. Pound, pound, pound and then hit the pass when you have their full attention on the run. Be smart not cute. [/QUOTE]
