That's what Jay Geuden was referring to, when he said this week that he wishes he had the players to "flex our offensive muscles".

But ultimately, successful coaches in football adapt their philosophy to their personnel. Obviously, having a porous OL is very different than switching from an outside the hash passing concept to a shallow cross and seam concept.

But I am with you, in that given our OL struggles, maybe some two TE or two back sets would be a good approach.

It's been how many months since this team started practicing with this offense?

The OL has been going down hill for a few years and it has only gotten worse. Whatever Mike Brown does to fix things only makes things worse. He's just that football stupid to do the wrong thing at that wrong time repeatedly. It's almost like a stroke of luck has to happen for him to do the right thing at the right time. And even though Lady Luck flirts a great deal, she rarely delivers the goods.
