beyond the WR's I'd like us to build in more swing passes and dump offs to Neal and Adams, they are good in open space and would like to see defenses have to start thinking about them more, might keep LB's occupied more often.  But those 2 have good hands and get YACs.  Would help to take some of the heat off the QB.

The WR's don't come back for the ball when Tommy has to scramble, they could really help, Tommy has enough mobility to escape many times but you can see the WR's either give up or don't come back.  This should be a focus in practice given out OL woes.  Don't know if it is addressed or worked on in practice but should be.  Other thing is we don't collectively do a good job of identifying where the pressure is coming from (blitzes) and throw at the side the pressure is coming from if from the outside.  Based on what we see from the stands if we can get QB and WR's on the same page to run a hot route and find it this would also be huge to counter the pressure.  Part of the problem is that many times the pressure is up the middle since opposing defenses know we run straight up the middle 99% of the time, very frustrating on that account also.  
Hopefully we grow and learn (coaches and players), WMU won't be an easy game but a chance to right a few things and then HC to help also before we hit and important conference stretch which will define this season.
