1. The deep ball -- hope you now understand why Ryan's issues with this are compounding the problem. Think of it like hoops -- if one guy is torching your team, you might try a box and one or some sort of zone scheme (overly simplified, I know) to slow him down. Same principal goes for football. They might start cheating a safety over to that side to help out, might start playing deep zone coverage, etc. If you have the deep ball in football, it really opens things up. It forces safeties out of the box, allowing the run game to open up (another issue we are faced with).

2. running some sort of in/out routes -- the old pick play if you will you see a lot of NFL teams run successfully.

3. double moves -- slant and go, stop and go, post corner -- get the db's to stop jumping the initial route, force them to back off a bit. We tried this once against Ville that I saw, Ryan missed Chew on this play.

4. Use some motion out there -- get the opposing db uncomfortable by having to chase his receiver down before the snap.  Don't allow the guy to set up for the jam.
