Gadgets have a time and place. They are momentum changers when they work.
When they don't you look like an idjit.

When you're in the company of idjits, you fit in better if you're an idkit too.

Good point, we don't execute them well it's like the defense knows when it's coming also

KM mistakes trick plays for creative modern offense. They aren’t the same. And I think the Jones have bought in.

They just don't work!!!!!!!!!!!! We can barely run a screen play. You mean to tell me we think we're going to bust a huge play off a double reverse??? Get over KM, can we run some simple plays that actually get us yards instead of losing yards!!!?? Give your thoughts..

it is called discipline and accountability

we don’t believe in them

Slow developing plays should all be scrapped for this year. This OL is just not good enough.

Hey now, our OC has to eat too. Nobody going to give him a HC job just handing the ball off. :facepalm:

Trick plays are fine but you have to establish something first for them to work. You can't run a trick play unless it goes hand in hand with the defense assuming it was the play they have seen a few times already. A couple poor calls by Moore there IMO

Elliott was serviceable last night at 5.2 avg per carry with a long of 7. So he didn't have 1 big run to blow up his average. I think that's what they need to do to protect a suspect passing game. Commit to running the ball. Maybe it was McGoverns injury l fear it was Moore being cute but they got away from it. Then like the house of cards the offense is, it came apart quickly.

Exactly it serves no purpose 3-4 plays into the ballgame. It reeks of either desperation or plain stupidity.

Every team I watch tries things and they have some success, we do it IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!

He threw in 2 trick plays on the opening drive when the offense actually looked good. Both failed. Its like he wants to make sure that those boring 6 yard runs are broken up with flashes of his creativity. lol
