Not necessarily trick plays but just creative play calling like Andy Reid and like Doug usually does

Doug Pederson isn't calling the plays. 

I mean, I'm sure he's regulating the calls to a degree, but he isn't actually calling the plays.

Now, he is definitely making final decisions on a game plan, and I really hope he plans to get ETN cooking in this one. 
TE blocking - whether inside or out -  should help. All of that is great. I hope they do it. 

You mentioned a bag of tricks. I think the bag of tricks is what hurt us vs the chefs. 
I want him to stay OUT of the bag of tricks and run the damn football 20 times before the 4th quarter starts. 
Even the screens and short to intermediate passes can stay relatively simple. 
We have players that can win their match ups (minus a few linemen he must account for) and he does not need "tricks" to outgun the texans IMO. Didn't really need them vs the chefs either. 

It's time to revert to the old KISS method for this offense.

Keep
It
Simple,
Stupid

You missed the first part of the 2nd post.  "Not necessarily trick plays but just creative play calling".  He needs to mix it up and get creative on offense.  We def need to run the ball more.  I thought we drafted Tank and Strange to help us in short yardage situations and the dont use them like that.  Even running the ball we you can get creative in run calls.  Doug and Reid have always done it and Press has learned from Doug.
