They need to go back and incorporate at least 60% of the things they did offensively at Clemson going into training camp next year. A lot of spread formations with tight bunch sets around the LOS, a lot of RPO's and a lot of quick and easy stuff to get him into a consistent groove early and often.

I think that's the best start. I think you have to do this for a minimum of 4 - 6 weeks before the rest of the NFL catches onto it defensively and starts to slow it down a bit. That's where a great coach starts to earn his paycheck in the NFL. He starts incorporating elements that are similar but not too far off conceptually that his team can pull it off. He's able to specifically attack mismatches or at least move his personnel around to create a favorable match up.

There's some hope next year. The game should slow down for him. Hopefully he'll get Etienne back. Hopefully Robinson will progress faster than expected from his recovery or at least be back in the mix by the end of October. They just have to figure out a way to take the handcuffs off this kid, not play too scared, and let him do what he likes to do on the run. I really think that's what hurt this team this year. The lack of identity.
