You can fix working on pre-snap motions. And not just at home. All the scheming in the NFL ends up being an NFL chess match. Having a play where a guy can motion and keep the defense honest, even in away games, would be doable. Last year, we utilized far less motion in away games than home games. I suspect because of moving around and verbale communication/noise. So they need to figure out a way to do it silently.

Secondly, you could upgrade the running back position with Ronald Jones.

For gunner, and return, I'm thinking we'll be calling up Jalen Brooks, maybe even Moreno-Cropper.

Turpin gave you a little spice. Both Brooks and Cropper do the same.

But really, just fix one and two in one week. Then start tweaking. They can't be so vanilla. They also need to work on more variety with the route tree.

Ronald Jones is unemployed for a reason. He's not an upgrade.

I'm not sure much can be done with the offense this week. They have a bye after the Chargers game so maybe something changes then. New play caller, perhaps?

Offensive play calling. What we saw last night lacked imagination. Made it easy for the defense.

Defensive play calling. For too many stunts. We're running ourselves out of position.

I'll add a third. Discipline!!! This team needs a strong hand, and a unified direction.

Agree on the pre-snap motion. Also add play action back, throw in some delayed handoffs, more RB screens.

Bring in Henry. We need a RB that can scare opposing defenses between the tackles. Pollard is a 3rd down change of pace running back.

Lance has good speed, if they bench Dak they should use Lance in some rpo with Luepke and Vaughn with Pollard in motion with CeeDee in the slot. Would be alot harder to contain than Dak is these days.
