The 'bertthepiggie' master has spoken: we will beat them by more than Genghis Kahn.

After last week and after the last 5 games I am not convinced that we can win another game. How's that for an opening statement. I don't really feel that way, but do think we need to significantly revamp our play calling and philosophy in order to win out. Meyer and Mullen have this high powered offense with the best talent and yet they choose to run it like a little old lady from Ontario driving slow in the left lane down US 41. Yes the spread can be a ball control offense, but it can also be a high scoring offense. Yes the risk factor is higher when we make it high scoring, but the reward factor is higher too (like no 1 pt losses to an unranked team at home). This offense is supposed to pose a problem for the D in which they choose which poison they want to take. They can either bring the safeties up in order to provide containment on the option, which opens up the deep passing plays or they can play a base defense and let us pick them apart running off tackle. Instead, what is happening is the D is bringing linebackers or safeties into the gaps to absolutely negate our running game and to create mis-matches when Tebow goes back to pass. I have been screaming at the TV to start throwing the slants, but we don't seem to do it much. The TE pass is also a good option and we have success with it, just not often enough. Even a bubble screen would be nice, but we tend to run everyone off the line and throw the ball horizontally thinking that our speed will win. Yes we are fast but so is the other team and if they maintain containment, our speed advantage is minized to a few yard gain. Playcalling needs to open up. Stop runnning the option because Tebow holds the ball too long. Call plays like we are down by 7 all the time. Just please don't let the Piggies do to us what Johnny Reb just did... Ken K.
