Fire the OC(scapegoat#3)and hope this head coach realizes that his offensive philosphy is a thing of the past. Hire an offensive minded coach and let them have the final say so on what play will be ran. Our team offensively is terrible and the numbers don't lie. Thank God we have a top rated defense to keep us in all the games. I just don't see how we will attract QB and WR top notch talent running an offense like we are trying to run. We have great RB's, but with a sub par OL does that mean to have to run all the time. I would bet most coaches who have a team with with the OL we have would resort to opening up the playbook and passing more or eliminate the QB position at times and run some kind of wildcat. I scratch my head when the trick play of the day was a HB jump pass that looked liked pass all the way. This is a terribly executed play especially when you run it with a guy who is not normally any of your RB's. PITCH THE DAM BALL ON A SWEEP, TUCK THE BALL AWAY AND ATTACK THE LINEUP OF SCRIMMAGE, PULL UP AND THROW THE BALL DOWNFIELD. It's called a halfback pass.

What would your attack be to start the game? Playaction deep pass to back the defense up

more shotgun formation? Yes and/or Pistol

what different formations? Pistol or a variation of such. Personally I would line up in the pistol with Copeland next to Mett and Ware behind him. This would add an extra blocker on plays, allow Mett more time to scan the field pre snap, and/or allow us to run out of an Offset-I formation if need be. I would also utilize more wr/rb motion. I would also make more use of a split back formation out of shotgun to get more skill guys/blockers on the field.

faster tempo? Some no huddle to start each half isn't a bad idea if the scripted plays are working.

more play action? Yes

more passes across the middle? Yes. We basically have a bunch of slot receivers (size wise) so we need to utilize that.

more out passes? only if they are quick ones

more inside/outside running? Yes.

more traps? Yes

more option? No. Quick pitch maybe

different personel? I would slide Collins out to tackle and Hurst to LG. At RT I would use either JD or Alexander.

insertion of some "trickeration"?
If only to insert some life into the offense or take advantage of an obvious mismatch. Flea flicker or hb pass maybe.
