We tend to win when he gets hot. Gotta get him going.

Knock off half of the over-the-top clever stuff and gimmick/gadget plays.
Our more standard pass plays give defenses plenty to worry about and as folks are saying - utilize the TEs in the run game instead of a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

This offense can produce without needing a ton of flea-flicker-no-look-behind-the-back-pump-fake to-the-decoy-shovel-pass-to-the-kick-returner nonsense. Just line up and beat the damn guy across from you.

I don't think the coaching staff believes this with Harrison and Scherff on the right?   Trick plays need to be dialed up because the O-line is losing when it comes to man to man blocking.

You don't fix struggling individual OL play with jazz-hands and razzle-dazzle.  Just get a TE or RB to line up or motion that way and help protect or block. 

Either that - or get the ball out of the QBs hands ultra quick with 2 read pass plays out of shotgun. 

Do something that allows those two or three struggling O-linmen to fail that won't kill the play. 
Not something that totally falls apart in one of the eleven players on the field gets thrown off his timing, positioning, or loses his blocking assignment.
