All phases of this operation obviously need some work, and they've all been mentioned already. One thing that stands out to me is strength and conditioning. We're getting manhandled physically. Teams are bullying us. We need to get bigger and stronger. Also, we seem to be breathing hard the whole game. The conditioning needs to be more tailored. With so much movement and tempo, these guys need better cardio. It's like we're wearing our own selves out. I'm sure it also doesn't help that O's philosophy is to keep the practices short and sweet, so they're not getting much game style conditioning.

I bet the coaches never thought to get them bigger AND in better shape.

It depends on the genetic pool you recruit.....then the fine skills learned through position coaches. This is NOT a Moffitt issue.

I'm sure they've done what they thought was needed. But, it's fairly obvious that we can't control the line of scrimmage. That could be attributed to lack of skill but it looks to be a lot to do with pure strength. As far as conditioning, if we're gonna play up tempo, we need to have big gas tanks. Inferior strength then add in fatigue and you get a horrid combination.

Strength and conditioning isn't the problem. LESS MILES left the cupboard dry, and this isn't a problem that can be fixed quickly. It will take at least a couple of years of recruiting to fix if not more. We should have fired Miles sooner before this problem manifested itself.
