More Creativity Needed on Offense

[THE PISTONS]

I see teams like the Steelers that have backs that can catch and what they do is the bring them in motion and line them up at WR. Sometimes, they have an empty backfield with 5 WR's. Then the defense responds by going dime.

Other times, they motion the backs into the backfield and have 3-4 WRs/TEs and run the ball. The defense may have Dime coverage on the field so it creates a blocking advantage.

We have 2 really good receiving backs in Bernard and Mixon. I feel like a creative offensive coordinator would put them both on the field at the same time and move them around to exploit defenses.

Then you have Boyd in the slot. AJ Green going deep. Then you can use Ross on some creative plays too.

THAT would be a tough defense to stop!

Also, to get Ross open, bring him to the backfield sometimes and let him get 3-5 yards to run without being bumped.

Instead...after we were down to our 3rd TE, we ran the same plodding offense. We bring the TE in motion and when he gets near the tackle we snap the ball and run it. So predictable.

We definitely don't have a creative OC.
