It’s obviously too late to change the offense, which is unfortunate due to its lack of creativity, play action, and pre snap motion. However what the coaching staff can do, is get Trevor the play call much earlier and get to the line. Allow the players to get set with plenty of time and start running some hard counts. Peyton and AROD style. Offense is insanely predictable and defensive lines are clearly picking up on it, and there also is barely any time to even scan the defense. Just seems like there is 5 seconds on the play clock every time they head to the line. It’s truly why I think we are so damn bad in short yardage situations. We can’t seem to run up the middle ever on a 3rd/4th and short. It’s as if the defensive line is the one saying hut. A hard count allows the offensive line to be a fraction of a second earlier, and maybe that’s enough to help move the chains on offense.

I expect my answer on the proposal soon Doug. I know you’re on the board. lol

They could do the Peyton. Run "slow hurry up". No huddles run up the line and then allow them to change the play as necessary at the line.

Lawrence was already doing this though yesterday. With the cadence change and hard count. He made Myles jump early twice and took a shot to Kirk on the 2nd one he drew him over with.

There's some wrinkles of improvement that are there for this offense. They just have to be willing to hammer them out between the staff and personnel.

I like the no huddle drills from time to time. The achille's heel is the short yardage run game. They failed last year at it. They're failing at it again just two weeks in.

This needs to be modified greatly. From the playcaller all the way down to how the big five up front operate as a collective.

We're not a power run football team. We're not the 49ers. We're not the Ravens. We're not the Chargers. We're a west coast finesse team larping as a run first offense with no success outside of 1st and 10+ yard situations.

Philosophy and approach must change incrementally at this point to survive this season. It must. There's no if, and or but about it.

Green Bay and Buffalo were two of the top three short yardage offenses last year on 3rd and 4th down. The obvious #1 team was the green tush push machine in Philadelphia.

But, when you look at GB and BUF from last year? A lot of the short yardage designs were a mix and match of a lot of TE movement work in short order with runs in there as well.

We have the TE room to do the same in 2024. I think it's a hidden gem on this offense if the coaches are willing to mine for it. Engram, Strange and Farrell can be and should be way more involved in 2nd and 3 and 3rd and 2 situations.
