They seem to be trying to out-think themselves with some of the play calling.  I think defensively, they are terrible at
this.  You don't have to do stunts/blitzes/blah-blah-whatever every single play.  Yesterday was almost begging for the
team to switch to a mush rush, just to keep the QB contained, and have guys able to react to the run, as opposed to 
having the first cut get you past seven guys.  But, that's on defense.

I just don't get the fascination with triple option and stuff, when you have clearly some RBs who have talent,
and look, spread wide with a toss sweep, and off they'd go.  They ran one option to the short side of the field
with Ben Lewis.  Really?  Not a quick guy, with Lewis?  Throughout the first half, they gained nothing on the
ground, and then thought an option with not the fastest WR is going to do something?  Maybe the game got 
past my understanding of football, but you have a few RBs who can run or catch a screen pass here and there,
you have Ishmael-Estime-Custis as WRs you can work around all over, you have Lewis and TEs who can work
the middle of the field, I just don't see why you look at all that, and then say "you know, an option to the 
short side of the field makes sense here."  No it doesn't.  Stop making things harder than they need to be.
