Retooling the offensive approach...

[Mr. Scot]

... would be a massive project, but with ten days available it could at least be worth a shot.

What would I suggest? Shifting to a run heavy scheme to utilize the personnel we have on the OL in a manner that suits their skill set and hopefully minimizes the damage done to Bryce Young.

There should already be at least some plays in the playbook geared to this (short yardage plays if nothing else) that could be emphasized more or even tweaked to fit different down and distance situations. Hell, there's certainly time to write new plays even.

At the very least though, the game plans we've been using are not working and those have got to change.

Would it accomplish anything?

Don't know, but it's better than playing out the proverbial  definition of insanity.

It’s gonna have to be offseason, we need fast twitch WRs to pair with Mingo/Thielen

 

draft someone like Josh Downs, Zay Flowers, Hollywood Brown type

Basically do what Wilks did last year when he took over.  It should make our OL look better and give Young some breathing room.  I would cut Reich loose and let Deuce handle the team and this new approach.  If we want to retool and try to fix our running game then Deuce Staley make sense as the guy to head it. 

[Waldo]

Finally something we agree on.

I think the oline wouldn't be hard. The rest is a big unknown.

Not talking about the offseason. Talking about something that could at least conceivably be done in season with the personnel we have.

And offseason retool is a much larger project.

That smith marsette fella has some jets, I’d incorporate him into the mix

Similar approach, yeah. Don't necessarily think it requires a coaching change to do either.

Hubbard can fit a power back role.

Hell, It might even be better for Sanders if he's healthy (which I still question)

Why keep Reich and have him completely abandon his whole offensive philosophy?  Get a fresh face leading this team and see if they can play some inspired football.  I don't think Reich is inspiring anyone at this point....

It would help the oline and running game tremendously. That should only help everyone else. I hope they try it.

So you finally admit that  Sanders sucks and offensive philosophy behind signing him was donkey brained

That's an offseason thing. I'm talking strictly about something to try this season.

The rest is a down the road thing, and hopefully only done with the help of a consultant.

Sign a FA back that is a bruiser  and go back to the running scheme they had last season. I Agree with Mr. Scott. These guys are confused and running in circles. Keep it simple. 

Wilks was successful with this system. Do what works.

One, I don't think Sanders has been healthy all season.

But beyond that, the same offensive line that isn't protecting Bryce Young is blocking for him too.
