Injuries have devestated the roster but the excuses for going conservative and not trying are done, from here on out. 0-3 dictates a " nothing to lose " attitude.
Edwards will probably start these next 2 games at home and has a full week of practice with the first unit. If the Coaches state they don't wish to throw too much at him,expose him, get him hurt.. blah blah blah..then they are hanging themselves and should step aside. Other teams throw backup QB's in and go balls to the wall, actually trying to win.
Work on 3-4 WR's and spreading the field this week. It can only help Lynch and Wright. Take Anthony Thomas and superglue him to the bench. Run out of the no-huddle every other series.
No more running out the clock before the half and wasting any opportunities. 4th and 1 ? If we're anywhere near mid-field, we should go for it every time.
Defensively, they CAN'T get any worse, since they are rock bottom now. Quit lining up the DE's 10 feet outside the OT's and tighten up the middle. Draw up blitzes coming from several different positions. This unit should consider gambling most every play.
The Coaches have to stop fearing their own roster and just let it fly, regardless of the results. You only play conservative when you have a solid D that can keep it close.
That's not an option here.
Take the conservative thinking and throw it in Lake Erie. It's not working.
