This is stellar.  I think, probably, it would make sense to maybe forget about the rush to
80 plays on offense, and maybe, maybe, take a few seconds and think about the play,
the situation, etc, and make sure to value the possession.  I disdain those that SU seems
to come out, in a key point, and go inc-inc-inc-punt, like right after the opponent scores,
and seemingly rush to get their D back out on the field.  Devito seems to be one of these
older style QBs, in the category of a Brees [NOT a comparison of him to Brees, just the
style] where he's better off with a slower tempo.  That's all.  You don't need to run shotgun
every play.  You don't need to snap it with half the play clock left.  Think about the play, look
over the D, don't just rush up, and go.  I think the runs up the middle could be cut down.  I
think screens, swing passes, and the TEs could be used.  That's playcalling stuff.  But then,
yeah, Devito has to stop with the, "I'm going right, ... still going right, and I'm going right out
of bounds or chucking it away."  The wasted plays are what kills this offense, not to mention
the ridiculous amount of penalties they commit.  Once you are finally at the point that you're
not hurting yourself, then you put the onus on Devito and see what he can do.  But if you 
going to call way too many dumb plays, and commit too many penalties, with an unsettled
OL that can't seem to do anything, it's not all on him.

They seem to go out of their way to make everything harder on themselves.
