Calling plays like that.
That was brutal.
If the whole idea was to use it to keep defenses off balance, you might actually want to run some plays that do so.
I understand that Marrone and 'lil Hackett are rookies, just like Manuel and Woods...but damn...they have a long way to go.
Spiller might not want to re-sign, not if he's going to be used like that.
Maybe Payton ran inside more in NO, but they had Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans.
Hell, when Stevie caught a 1st down pass in the 3rd Q, it was because the DB was tweeting at the time. "Its 1st down, they'll just run up the middle again..Oh crap, they're throwing my way".
The little lateral handoff works from a spread when you actually have the defense spread out...and when they are expecting a pass. Not when they are stacked at the line and know what's coming.
Guys..you got some work to do. Understand that keeping D off balance takes more than snapping the ball within 15 seconds. You're little RB can fly...you might want to figure out some ways of getting him in space. You know...like a screen, or a swing pass, or even an off tackle play.
Believe it or not, you actually have a defense that can stop someone from time to time now.. (Thank you Mr. Pettine).
Let's not turn this into the Dick Jauron version fo the no huddle, if it isn't already there.
