Despite not being equipped for it, we made a concerted effort to pound the ball out of the pro set.
This year we have a physical o-line and THREE good RBs and we've decided to play like the New England Patriots.
I understand that we wanted to get more plays this year because we played so slow last year, but if there was ever a game where we needed to bleed the clock, it was last night.
Did we EVER call two running plays in a row?
Why are we running throwbacks to a QB on a bad wheel?
Why are we throwing fades to the boundary on 3rd and 2 with a QB who's proven countless times he sucks at throwing touch routes.
Fisch was very promising last year. I have no idea what's going on now. I don't know if THIS is the offense he truly wants to run, and he thinks he has the QB to do it (he doesn't), but we have to make some kind of effort to establish a running game.
Last night, there was nothing wrong with playing slow, and getting to a manageable 3rd and 5 or 6. Morris should've never thrown 48 times or whatever he did.
Two things give me hope about Fisch and the offense:
1. Baby Jesus arrives next year. He'll redshirt, and hopefully he'll be ready to take over in 2014.
2. We're prioritizing the TE position. Hopefully that means we'd like to be a more physical pro style team, but we can't right now because our current TEs aren't good at blocking or running routes (my only reservation about this theory is we at least tried to be physical with Chase Ford).
