We know what to expect, as expressed in other threads, how would you call it differently, that would be more successful?

I would not mind, in no particular order, a bubble screen to DJD, a crossing rout to JT4, a reverse or double reverse and a QB draw. But I’m sure you’ll have more creative plays. Let your creative minds fly.

Slants and screens but it will probably be 2 runs up the middle for 2 yards each and then a ball that is thrown off target by 45 feet

You posted in the other opening series thread. Why is this needed?

That thread was what I/we expect. This thread is what I would, or you would like to see. If this is a repeat thread, my apologies. Mods are free to lock it.
 
2 runs up the middle to “establish the run” it won’t work and it will be 3rd and 8 and we punt the next play, **** I thought For some reason you were asking what plays will he call.


I’d involve so motion with our receivers. Get Brevin Jordan and or Jeff Thomas involved early and often. Hit them with a reverse to Jeff Thomas

I go slow developing outside zone run on first down for a loss of 1, four verts Incomplete pass on second down, then five wide designed qb draw up the middle for a gain of two. Top it off with a 28 yard punt and let the defense shine.

Again, what plays other than what we have seen and expect, do you think should be called, that would give the team chances of success?
 
Play 1. 5 yard slant to Cager (thrown 3 yards into the dirt)

Play 2. Inside zone for no gain (Homer runs into Mahoney who is 2 yards in the backfield)

Play 3. 4 verts. Rosier throws it out of bounds.

Play 4. Shanked punt.

Gosh you are so right. Put in #15!
 
3 straight vert bombs to JT. All incomplete. goes for it on 4th n 10 bc he's learned. draw/dive for no gain into Mahoney, per usual.

But seriously, we know exactly what he'll do. 2 draws, outside behind and low on 3&8. 24 yard punt OOB.

We need to do more outside runs with our WRs blocking. They run block better than our OL. I would run screens, crossers, and slants. Get the TEs heavily involved with seam routes and quick outs. Back in our glory years we utilized the **** out of our TEs. We ran so many 5 and outs and seam routes as our TEs always have an advantage against any LBs. You start utilizing the TEs and that keeps the LBs and Ss honest and makes them less willing to run blitz which makes it easier to run block for the OL. It's simple stuff man that is so obvious. All we run these days are RB dive out of the gun or play action of the same formation and run all 9 routes. Would love to see what our actual playbook looks like and what route trees we incorporate. I would bet we run less than 15 plays.
