I say near impossible because this team cannot run the ball for the life of them. And as we all know, the pass catchers behind chase and tee are practice squad tier players
I definitely agree that the calibre of 'what's after' Chase and Tee is a huge drop off.. I'm not expecting miracles! Just adaptation, even if it's a case of having a small number of simple plays in the bank should we not have guys available. I can't get on board with the idea that Tee being out on Friday, meant we had zero time to adapt and had to be shoehorned into the same gameplan regardless. That's just not good preparation in my opinion.
Slight tangent here, but unfortunately we do seem to look pretty limited offensively when Tee hasn't been good to go. Doesn't say good things down the road, unless we really are going to pay him too. Obviously simple maths suggests 'good player out = less good offence', but it does seem a bit of a drop off without having looked into it statistically.
