Anyone worried about the lack of the vertical passing game?

I'm a huge fan of Zac the HC. Not so much as a play caller or scheme designer. His offenses have always been inconsistent, even at their best...prone to completely disappearing for stretches of games. There just hasn't been any real evolution of this offense. IMO, they lack creativity and are a little too stubborn at times. 

I would love to see them bring someone in next year that is capable of developing an effective and adaptable run game. I know Zac likes to say they're a throwing team...but it would be nice to be able to take some pressure off Joe and put it on defenses. 

Yup

At times it seems like there's 3 different offenses out there for us and they never see each other and one has no idea what the others are doing? 

We can't stay this ineffective running the ball down the stretch or it's gonna be very tough. We have to start using the middle of the field some in the passing game. We have to stretch the field a lot more consistently.

I know it's the same old drum that's been banged a gazillion time but we're way to predictable.
