So the answer to our offensive problems is and has been right in front of us. We have seen it in spots, we saw it the 2nd half of 2015. The answer is the uptempo, West Coast, boom offense we ran in the 2nd half of 2015, we ran against the Texans and we run whenever we have no choice. If you look at any game were we just move the offense with no problems, usually, with a sense of urgency that is what we are talking about, In that offense, we are quick to get the ball out, there are layer routes, we sprinkle in the run when they least expected it, we commit fewer penalties, and so on and so on, We are literally unstoppable.

The question is when we will just use it from start to finish every game, and who is the one deciding not to?

When who is ever is making the choice not to use it except when we have to, gets their head out of their A$$ and starts letting the offense run what works best we will take off and be nearly unbeatable. Until then we will struggle. So at this point, it is on the coaches.

Makes it really hard on the defense with 30 sec 3 and outs.

If we ran the offense I am talking about there would be very few 3 and outs at all. Also a lot of those 3 and outs were due to penalties.

It’s all up to the game planning, play calling, offensive philosophy.

All 3 of those need to change. That change is what you are referring to.

As opposed to 90 second 3 and outs? :sarcasm_on:

I don't think we will ever go straight to the WCO, but I am sure not enjoying whatever the hell you call what we are putting out there now.

It's almost as if you are saying the team needs a coach to coordinate all of the offensive players to function as a single unit?

Yes, a credible one though.

So, what you are saying is the Hawks need to always play like they do when they are playing well, like that one time 2 years ago. :irishdrinkers: I do agree about the up tempo offense as an affective tool but it's not something I would expect to see run the entire game. How about they stop the stupid penalties, and carry out their assignments better.

To this team it seems the former is easier than the latter.

You mean like the one we had in the shootout with the Steelers, and through 2nd half of 2015?

well it is not just 2 years ago but pretty much anytime you see us moving the ball with ease and being quick to the line, and quick to start the play that is what they are doing. Example against Houston we still committed 10 penalties or 120 yards but we were able to overcome it because of the type of offense we used. FYT I do agree cutting down on penalties would help

In up tempo the simplify the blocking scheme also if I remember correctly going to a more power run and straight up pass protection.

But, It will be nice to know we won't have those penalties anymore.

Just let Russell lose for back yard ball and drive the haters mad. :twisted:

At least that would make it a partially successful season.

I'm not sure what we ran against Houston was that similar to the end of 2015 offense. It was somewhere between that and hero-ball where Russ and the receivers were on fire against a dumpster fire secondary. The difference between now and the end of 2015 was that we were running the ball 50% of the time and it was actually working. We had Rawls for a bit and then CMike even had a solid game against the Cards when he came back.

Now, there is no credible run threat. The best we have on that front is Russ.

How is that different than the current offense? First downs helps the defense. The offense has difficulty converting the 3rd and longs so it's the same thing, 3 and out. Russ was meant for sandlot football.

The offense still isnt playing good enough. Can't keep the opposing D on the field or keep ours off.

Correct and if you look at it, it also allows for a decrease in penalties because it is straight up pass blocking, the ball gets out quicker because there are layered routes, and even if Rw scrambles because it is straight up it is easier for the lineman to disengage

1 Went back and researched the games were we ran this offense for mos tor all of the game, 2 because the ball gets out quicker due to layered routes, and because it is power run blocking and straight up pass blocking the lineman can disengage easier if need be. I am not saying there will not be any penalties but there will be a lot less than now, and in the few times there were we showed a very good rate of overcoming them.
