"I’ve been walking around bellowing, “Scheme It Up.” In fact, that’s what my 2019 training camp T-shirt would say. “Scheme It Up.” There’s just too much talent here on the offensive side of the ball to scrounge for points. Are you kidding me? A 4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers, a 1,000-yard back? And Giovani Bernard and Tyler Eifert thrown in for fun?"

He absolutely nailed it.  Why were we often scrounging for points with that kind of production from skill players?  I know the oline is a problem, but still.....

You get the line shored up and playing better, there is no excuse for this offense to have to scratch and claw for points.  No excuse for Bernard to be an afterthought either.

As much grief as Hobson gets for his usual fluff pieces and unending cheerleading for what might have been's he's pretty astute at times as well. At the very least he has an easy writing style even if it's not very often what you want to read. He's got a knack for making the dumbest things sound like pure genius for a moment until you think about them then they revert back to dumb usually. I do agree though, this time he nailed it. Scheme it up for points instead of scheming to not lose.
