Offense scheme change

Seven games in it’s pretty apparent that we’re not going to be able to protect Mensah against a half way decent pass rush.

Given this liability it seems that we are going to have to adjust the scheme to something similar to Texas under Sark: lots of screens to receivers, backs, and tight ends, mixed with quick passes and play-action shots. That’s probably the best thing we can do that doesnt require good protection. I don’t follow the Dolphins but Tua seemed to do a lot of it a few years ago

I’m not an X’s and O’s guy at all but Mensah will get destroyed against a decent line if we keep doing what we do. I hate the horizontal game but at this point we don’t have much choice.

Next time lead with you are t an X’a and O’s guy then wrap it but by stage diving into an oncoming brightline.
 
I think you’re overestimating the difference between a DL like Pitt and an SEC team we may face down the road. We’re not playing slouches like the media may lead you to believe. Sure, could be better but our OL still has the chance to improve and have had their moments. Need some consistency. Mensah also needs to make decisions a hair faster.
 
Our OL is not good. We really need serious change. No way SJ is the best option at guard. This OL gonna get Mensah killed if he takes more than 2 steps.
 
Yeah it’s definitely clear after today in a game where Mensah went 31/37 400 yards 4TDs and didn’t play the 4th qtr that we clearly can’t protect against a good rush. Pitt has a good pass rush , it’s like the one thing Narduzzi teams can do well.
