No, these aren't happening, but here is a short list I would like to see made (that are realistic....sure, I would like to see Gronk here, but it isn't happening) this season to attempt to change the direction and production of this team:
1.) Vigil- Let him be the WILL in base with Burfict at MIKE and Vinny Rey at SAM. Let him begin to get snaps in nickel with Burfict.
2.) Core, Boyd- More three receiver sets. Boyd needs to get involved early in the slot. Core needs to attempt to take the top of the defense. Run some 9 routes with him. Rotate him in to force the defense to cover him deep. If he is singled, take a few shots. I don't like the Ratbirds, but I always respected their goal of taking so many deep shots each game. They have Steve Smith, Sr, and in his prime, he was an amazing deep ball tracker.
3.) Kroft, Uzo- Until Eifert returns, I want both of these guys on the field at the same time. Weapons. If they aren't in 3 WR sets, they need to be in two TE, two WR, single back sets. Either one or both can stay in to block, or one can slide out in a pattern. If forces defenses to be aware of both of them. The extra TE (Fisher) generates no fear in any way and telegraphs the running play
4.) Tempo- The first few series should be scripted anyways, but I want Dalton able to go no-huddle and attack defenses without time to read and diagnose.
5.) Blitz- I understand that Paulie's defense is predicated on pressure from the front four...it isn't really happening. I would like to see a safety blitz, CB blitz, LB blitz at least a couple times a game...just to try and create a turnover or at the very least, a turnover on downs. When a QB is sacked for a significant loss, the % of drives that end in a punt is pretty high.
6.) Clarke- Needs to be rotating with MJ at least 50% of the time. Not only do I think he is better now, but this could help MJ stay fresh...he looks, well, worn down.
7.) TE Screen- I saved the best for last. Run it, and run it to both sides with both TEs.
Yours?
