We're all in agreement that our inside-the-5 redzone play calling and execution could use a lot of improvement. It's probably our biggest Achilles heel right now and caused us two "close" wins against GT and Syracuse. I understand that we don't have the right personnel for ground and pound (short 1 blocking TE and 1 FB), but at some point we need to start going with what we have - athletics players with good hands. So let's have it - what packages/plays would you use every time we were inside the 5, no matter the down?
My go-to play is a hybrid-bootleg (or what some call the half-rollout) works in favor of both Rosier and his pass catchers, specifically Herndon, Berrios and Langham/Richards:

Rosier rolls out and goes through a simple progression 1) Herndon/Berrios in the flat, 2) Langham/Richards in the corner/backline or 3) run it in himself. Fourth option is if Homer has no one to block and ends up at the goalline as a safety valve pass. 5th option would be "scramble mode" where options 1-4 are covered and the backside receiver has the option to turn his route into a crossing pattern across the middle of the endzone.
Interested to see what the high-football-IQ minds think we should be doing instead of what we are doing in goal line situations.
