Ok so we’ve been poop on our opening drives these last several weeks, Trevor giving up turnovers, Etienne fumbling, overall lethargy and gross lack of execution on the Offensive side of the ball. 

In my opinion, Doug is making it too hard on these guys to start the games. The concepts and motions seem so unnecessarily complex to open a game. The goal should just be getting the guys loose with some easy layups. I think ONE gotcha play is ok to open the game within the first few plays. But trying to psyche out the other team has only lead to our own players being psyched out. So for me: 
1. Etienne Run (Power Right)
2. Play-Action, Engram in the flat
3. Mesh concept, drag routes across the middle in trips bunch, hit Kirk 
4. Etienne Run (power to the left) 
5. Etienne Run (out of shotgun)
6. Flea Flicker (the ONE gotcha play) 
7. Mesh concept, hit Zay on a crosser 
8. Shotgun crosser or drag to Engram 
9. Shotgun in route to Zay or MJ
10. End around, motion with Agnew 

I think this warms up the whole offense on stuff they’ve done all year. Get into a flow and try to execute a new concept every 6 plays or so.
