We saw some incredible changes in game planning last season, if my memory serves me right. Several times, we were ready to throw in the towel on this offense only to come out with a good game plan and a diverse and effective offense. I suspect we'll see that again over the next 3-4 games and then we'll start to see an identity develop. I'm still banking on seeing lots of short passes to Newsome and the TEs along with Thomas making big plays on the regular. Even if the coaching staff has shortcomings, they'll see some of their errors on film and look to find their weapons. I just can't believe they are totally incompetent. They've brought us pretty far in two seasons, so they deserve a little patience.
I think the biggest issue I saw against Maine was the OL failing to provide BS with adequate time and BS failing to make quick enough reads with the time he had. If those two things were better, maybe we open up the playbook a little. My fear is, those aren't easy things to fix in a week. We've got to throw the ball to get the ground game opened up.
