Offensively we should place a major emphasis on the run game. We have a qb that cannot throw the ball or read a defense but let's place that to the side. The biggest issue is that he turns the ball over at an extr really high rate. If we focus on the run it place us in manageable down and distance. Using play action, role outs, options play  and  moving the pocket allows Bortles to use his mobility or throw to a dumpoff. At this point that is all we have in the passing game. 

2nd and 7 and 3rd and 6 gives you a new play book. Throwing on early downs just is not going to work for this team. Focus on the run period and take the ball out of Bortles had. That will drastically reduce the turnovers and keep us playing the field position games until the defense can get a big play or we wear down their defense.

Hey Forrest, This already is the game plan.

I felt like this should be reiterated because this is exactly what we didn't do yesterday. Giving your top 4 pick 14 carries and your struggling qb 42 pass attempts seems like the opposite. You can say that's the game plan but that's not what I saw yesterday. I saw a team trying to get. It's throwing on 1st and 10 and panicking when they got a penalty that backed them up. Even in that scenario run the ball andtry to create a manageable 3rd down or just punt and play feild position. 

I'll admit special teams hurt this team as well but I saw a team trying to mix in passing with the run. That will not work. We have to run until we have to have pass. That is the only was to cut down the turnover and stay in the game

You don't think they are already doing this?   (they are)

Dude, they ran on 7 of the 9 first downs they had in the first half of the game Sunday.

What are the stats on that in the second half cause that's when the game got out of hand?
