Constructive Suggestions

Think we've blown off enough steam about the poor offense Saturday. Lets hope it was a one-time thing. Would love to see some of this going forward:
1) Use of Lorenzo/Williams as changeup back.
2) more play action - screens, bootlegs, etc. Apart from 2 trip-and-falls CW does have decent footwork
3) simplified game plan. Not saying NO wildcat, but be judicious. A little less helter-skelter tempo would be an improvement.
4) More throws to tight ends, especially Griffin. seems like we threw that part of game out after Delahunt fumble. he deserves 2nd chance
5) in a perfect world the goal would be to shorten the game (like Giants in Super Bowl v. Bills) We don't think we have that kind of power O but if we can get into a rhythm using clock take advantage especially if we get a lead. Easier said than done but clock management is going to be especially crucial with a dominant D and developing O.

Until we fix or otherwise compensate for the Oline issues, we are fumbling around in the dark on offense.

One way to help Whitmer get some time is to move him around, something a pro-style offense is supposed to do, but we are not for some reason. In the first half Whitmer rolled out and hit Griffin on a sideline pattern nicely for a decent gain. We need let him move a bit in light of the Oline's issues they are working out. I'll take a tuck/slide for two yards over a sack/loss for eight all day long!!
