Just for fun, what if CPR called and asked YOU to come in and coach the O this week. What would you do? Here's my emergency fix
1. Call the entire O into the meeting room and ceremoniously dump the binder with the current "scheme" into the largest trash can I could find
2. Hand out a laminated legal sized page with about 10 plays on it. A sampling: iso run with Jeff Woody lead blocking, some kind of toss sweep, a short passing game with shallow crossing routes for Ecby, Daley and the TE. Streak route for Bundrage down the middle (not against the boundary where a perfect back shoulder throw is required). Tunnel screen that actually sets up with some blockers. NO zone read. NO sideways throws to the boundary.
3. Head to the practice field and practice our new skinny playbook until we see what we're supposed to do in our sleep.
4. Pull the quarterbacks out from underneath the bus and get the weight of the world off their shoulders
5. Tell everybody to loosen up and have fun. Nothing to lose.
This is quite superficial and the experts will rip me to shreds (I've never coached on any level). However, I believe this approach, hokey as it is, could match the results of the last three weeks. Thoughts from others given the silly hypothetical I put out there? Might be a productive alternative to all the arguing.
