Deleone has a clear pattern of throwing in odd ball play calls into a game plan one week, and then having those same formations show up at important times in future games and have somethign else come out of the formation. He's not fooling anybody, and he's failing to establish a confident offense, that when the pressure is on, the ball needs to move, can get in a huddle, and get to the line of scrimmage and run a play they know they can execute and move forward.
Every single GOOD offense, when you study it, can be reduced down to a single play that is their go to play either a run or pass play out of a base offensive structure. The really good offenses will have two - one run and one pass. THe best defensive coaches, the best defensive teams, will find that formation and play, and the players that offense relies on, and do whatever they can, in a defensive game plan, to take that play away.
It seems to me, that Deleone, in is wise old man stage, has decided that he won't give defenses that opportunity, and wehn it's crunch time, we go to gimmicks and tactics, rather than bread and butter.
To me - this is all that needs to change, for our offense to begin to play well,consistently.
We need to take everything we did o that short drive after stephen's block (minus the wishbone call at the goal) and practice that stuff, until the TE and QB are on the same page, the receivers, TE's and Backs all know their blocks, and can nail them, and we can ride the strength of this offense, which is the right side of that line.
GOd damn, if defensees know it's coming and load up and leverageto stop it, with a QB that can actually throw a decent ball, and big strong receivers that can catch, we can move the ball.
We better start doing it.
