Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 3506551, member: 5564"] Agree with most of this. I will say I found it strange in the post game press conference when Dino said “Gilbert like to play aggressive”. Nothing about play calling yesterday seemed remotely aggressive and I thought it was extremely conservative and weak. So it tells me Dino is calling most the plays, which is not great since the offensive play calling was atrocious. Lastly, it’s been said in another thread by someone and I can’t agree enough. As much as this fan base wants a fast offense and to score a lot of points. As much as Dino wants to go fast and score a lot of points. We need to slow this offense wayyyyy down. To me this offense is not going to win us games, the defense is going to win us games and I think that’s obvious. We can’t have 45 second, 3 and outs. We just can’t. Defense gets gassed by the fourth like we saw and they can’t play to the level they are capable of. We have legit studs all over the defense and they can win us ball games. Fact: we arent going to win ball games 49-42 this year, we aren’t out scoring anyone. We are going to win games 21-10, etc...it won’t be pretty but that’s how we win this year. Honestly, huddle up after every play, make sure everyone is settled, I think this will cut down on pre snap penalties as well, call better plays, get the right personnel in, literally take the clock down to under 10 seconds every snap and play that way. Have the defense out there as little as possible so they are fresh and making plays when they are, because that’s exactly what they will do when they are gassed. Dino has to swallow some pride with his offense and realize that’s not the bread and butter of this years team. Play to your teams strengths, not to mention we have one of the best kickers in the country, keep the game low scoring because with the kicker and defense we have, we’ll have the upper hand in those games. In my opinion that’s how we win football games this year. [/QUOTE]
