re: Does it trouble you that Miles does not see a need to change scheme?

How many of them have our talent?

It's really unfair to bring up spread teams with less talent than us trying to make your point...it's comparing apples to oranges.

When is the last time a power running team beat them?

Fj runner. Not at all man. I'm saying it must be hard to think about change while being so successful but not changing will possibly cause the team to never be COMPLETELY successful. Hope that make sense

Like I posted before.... That's just not true. On passes within 10yards of the LOS, Harris is 41/60 on the season. Our WRs have had 8 drops and Harris has just 7 inaccurate passes on those throws. And there has only been a couple of passes where Harris puts too much heat on it. But the WRs should still catch it.

And let's get away from Harris. Where was the short, quick passing to the middle of the field with Mett? Nobody has ever said he had horrible touch, yet we still rarely would attack the middle of the field with short, quick passes. We have attacked the middle of the field with the seam and post, but havent done it with short, quick passes regardless who the QB is. It's just a part of Cameron's offense. You can go back and look at his offense with Joe Flacco and the Ravens and even further back to Rivers and the Chargers. He doesnt use short, quick passes to the middle of the field and never has.

miles established over the course of the season to date an offense that runs over 70% of the time (?) and when facing the best DL around - knowing full well that they know we run 70% of the time - persisted running into brick walls.

We had 50:50 split for called pass plays vs run plays for the Bama game. Your point is invalid.

It's not about a scheme overhaul. It's frankly as simple as not being so damn predictable.

Loom at Harbaugh in San Francisco. They ran the hell out of the ball and did it in an infinite number of different sets. You don't have to always just run straight forward at an opponent. Things as simple as counters, pulling blockers, stretch runs are all really easy ways to change things up.

We know that they haven't had problems with our offense in years. Defense has kept done games close.

What I don't understand is he allowed the defense to adapt to defend what the majority of teams run...leaving us more vulnerable to bamas offense.

The scheme worked 3 of the last 5 times? Sounds good but we still LOST the last 5 games against them!!!!! Something is not working against them

Moreover, what worries me is that while we are blessed to win plenty of games, we don't lose enough to have a major change in offensive philosophy. Kind of damned if we do and damned if we don't.

That could only make sense if the head coach was more worried about keeping his job than about maximizing his teams performance and winning championships.

And that's far fetched, right?

There are some schemes out there that are very cool. Take your pick:


1. Spread
2. Power I
3. A-11 would be new
4. Oh, here's one....it' called Adjusting
5. Kick offs in-bounds are good too
