I do think the play calling and vanilla-ness has varied depending on the flow of the game. The play calling has been a "force us to do something differently" type of game management. Not, oh let's see how flashy we can get and run through the entire play book. We have seen a play here or there that was a new look or at least some that are not like the other 95% of what you see. This is exactly right. This offense is not always pleasing to the eye, but I'm waiting to see what the full body of work looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston will be a tough test for us and we'll need to show off some new wrinkles to get the W. I just hope our D gets back to keeping teams out of the endzone. Go Bulls! this guy hasnt been used enough or properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people get confused between "opening up the offense" and simply doing something different when we are down. News flash, all teams abandon the run when they are down three scores in the fourth. As others have said, what we are doing is working, expect nothing different until we have to. But that is not trickery or a secret playbook, it is what every team does. A bad example would be Navy. When they are down a few scores in the fourth they "open up the offense" because they have to.

We’re 7-0 and have a really good team to watch week by week. I’m hoping we do blow a team out, but what we’re doing is working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad example. Perfect example of what they did against us last year late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. No point in opening a playbook when you can win with 'vanilla'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
