Pete wants to run the ball, control the clock, limit turnovers, and take a deep shot every now and then. That is his philosophy, It's not sexy but it is what it is and thats what its gonna be. We're not going to compete for a Superbowl every year and nobody else does either outside off the Pats, it sucks to have a down year but that doesn't mean you change your mind set it means you work to get better, hope for a good draft next year, hope to plug a few solid free agents in and go from there. Now if that doesn't work for a couple of years then let's find a new coach and start over.
There can be a middle ground between a flashy air raid offense and what we're doing now. Sgt's post above give a list of plays that can be sprinkled in to make the offense more efficient. We can also use more tempo, the few times we do it is effective but then we go away from it.
I want us to be a run first team that controls the clock and limits turnovers, but in order to do that we need to be able to sustain drives and not get in a hole and forced to abandon the run in the second half.
