1) poor tackling which was a problem all year but got really bad in the final three games
[B]I actually think our tackling was pretty good this year, until we got injured and basically got beat up at the end of the year. Special shout out to Bennett who I thought was great at tackling.[/B]

2) lack of a running game
[B]I think this is just personnel. ED was our best RB. Strick doesn't have the natural instincts to be a RB at this level, imo, at a high level. Moe should be in the slot. [/B]

3) poor line play for the most part
[B]Talent. Honestly, I think we'll have a great OL in two years.[/B]

4) lack of team discipline(too many stupid penalties)
[B]Team couldn't maintain towards the end of the year. Injuries, schedule was brutal, etc. However, this should have been better, overall, and should be something we improve next year.[/B]

5) stop with all the bubble screens that were high risk with low reward(run 2 or three a game max unless defense is just unable to stop them)
[B]I think these are fine. It helps if we had WRs that could block like Miami's WRs and just better talent, overall.[/B]

6) situational play calling was sometimes just bizarre
[B]Once ED went down, all bets are off on a functional offense. Separately, even with ED, he has limitations in his natural QB skills in terms of progression and choices on RPOs.[/B]

7) lack of a power ground game inside the red zone
[B]Personnel and talent. Needs time.[/B]
