re: Miles Says Offensive Scheme Is Not The Problem

The philosophy is fine, and has won nearly 90% of the time for this staff:

When we have had a dominant defense and an OL that can dominate the defensive front. We have neither

Ball control, don't turn it over.

You can spread a team out and run and do this

"When you throw the ball, 3 things can happen..."

Has Jennings been throwing picks left and right? And I'm not calling for him to throw 40 times per game. I want us to use formation and misdirection to spread the D out at times and get them going one way and go the other at times as well. Not the old "line up and beat the man in front of you". We don't have the talent gap to do that this year so we need a scheme that will help create success

Wear the opposing defense down with the running game so that by the 4th qtr the yards are there.

Hard to do that when you are repeatedly going 3 and out. Adjustments should have been made at half

It is a bad approach for impatient fans who just want to see the ball in the air and safeties going after the QBs - and O/Us in the 90s.

If we are going to give up 30+, then yeah I want the O/U to be high which means we aren't getting shut down on O.
