I would definitely change OC. Someone with a different philosophy. I like the i-formation where you can fake a handoff up the middle and throw behind the linebackers, or go misderection. I also love those counter plays with the pulling guard and tackle. Also would have someone in motion, like Duvernay, at the time of the snap- get a running start at the secondary or a reverse. At least make the linebackers think for a moment and perhaps get a 2 step Advantage which makes all the difference in the world.
Is there an OC that can get a QB to hit receivers in stride after a fake handoff. How about more wheel routes- they've proven successful. Or like someone said let RJ throw it after a handoff.
Granted, there have been moments of creativity like when our lineman caught a backward pass and ran it in for a touchdown. But we don't seem to get creative in "bigger" games.
Is it difficult to draw up a play card with creative/misdirection plays as well as regular plays. Mixem up.
Hell I would do a last second shift into the wishbone in the middle of the game and run the option. Pitch the ball to Duvernay out of the wishbone and see what happens. Champions have been won using the wishbone.
