I was actually quite happy with what we did last week. I don't know why people are obsessed about establishing the running game when it's not working.
I know, I know, less blitzing, tiring the defense, etc. Fact is, though, that we come out running it on our first driver often enough and we just fail horribly, meaning that we trail by the 1st quarter and are forced to pass even more. Or stay with a struggling running game.
We're a WC offense, short passes should be able to pick up some of the slack from our running game. Just throw some more slants, drags, quick screens and stick routes.
Much like last week, really.
Let the passing game set up the passing game. And maybe the running game, when they do back off.
