That jet sweep they used early in the season worked pretty well. In fact too well haven't seen it since.

Those seem like pretty easy to execute plays that spread the defense out a little. A definite change from the same ole toss up the gut. Bubble screens and jet sweeps used to be a big part of our offense. What happened?



Because Travin Dural going long is so much better.

I remember people bitching about us running bubble screens. Now we want them back?

come on guys, sometimes they run the gut toss with one tight end, sometimes they run it with 2 tight ends..... I mean how much creativity are you looking for?

Nope. We ran them all the time Crowton was here. Holliday and Shepard were the go to guys. We would have been running them with Brazil if he wasn't such an idiot. We should be running them with Miquel James.

We also ran bubbles with Crowton as well. Jennings can't execute them well because of his lack of accuracy and RB strength. I don't know about Harris' accuracy, but he definitely has more than enough arm to do it.

09 crap one bowl anybody? Crowton i think had a much more creative approach, just dude was too creative. The sub packages that dude ran were insane and confused the shite out of our own players.

nah its all Les.

Because Jennings throws rainbows and Harris hasn't absorbed all of the offensive and defensive schemes yet. We would have more to complain about if the coaches kept calling those plays.

It was nice to see the one rub route turn into a easy TD to Diarse. And the jet sweeps to Dural were pretty effective too.

Amazing.
