Gruden's lack of creativity with how he uses personnel packages and formations is making it easy for defenses.

You can't run up the middle every time you line up in a power I formation.

You can't give the ball to Shenault every time he lines up in the backfield.

You can't throw the ball every time Thompson is in at RB.

Defenses key on these things and if you don't change up what you do with these personnel packages and formations to take advantage of what the defense starts to key on, you are handcuffing your offense.
