That's it. That's all we need to do. That's what we did the last time we were optimistic about this team in 2021. Running the ball effectively is the only way to magnify Mac's and our OL's strengths while limiting their liabilities.
- The OL struggles in pass protection and the best way to get better at that is to pass protect less and have the upper hand because the defense thinks a run is coming.
- We have great OL personnel for running if we aren't already 14 points behind. Sow and Mafi are big. Put one of them in at RG and move Onwenu to RT. Get our five best OL on the field.
- Mac does best with timing based throws out of the play action rather than reading the field.
It's what we did well in 2021 when everyone had a very different view of Mac and it's what we need to do now. Remember all the talk in 2021 about how BB was going to reverse NFL pass happy trends by running the ball and playing great defense? We need that back.
