I agree with most of what you said except for one thing...
"I want to see our offense do something besides play action.
It may work once our opponents respect the run but for the last 5 years it hasn't. Didn't happen"
Yes it did. Unfortunately what they did instead of play action was play 80% of the
game in a horrid shotgun.
In this case I want the exact opposite. I want more play action, and I want it out
of the I formation.
EVEN if you aren't able to run with much success, you've got to keep doing it enough
to make the defense keep it on their mind and to make the play action from under
center mean something. We had more consistency working out of the I this past week
than we did out of anything else, because the threat of the run albeit small was
still enough to make their LB's hesitate. With our offensive line's inability to
block, we better pray we can do something off of play action. Nobody respects the
run a bit out of the shotgun even if you do run out of it from time to time. The
only run is that delay draw, so we really limit what the defense has to be looking
for when we stay in it so much.
God Bless and Go Dawgs
