Well done.
 
You've hit upon the dream, a team that CAN impose it's will on 3rd and short if needed but most of the time wants to get 5 guys in the pattern and throw the ball around.
 
On offense the single biggest problem, and this isn't 20/20 is the right side of the line.  It's hurt the run game, and obviously they can't hold the pocket consistently.     Teams have overplayed the run to the left and have been able to handle runs to the right without much problem.  90% of the pressures/sacks have come from that side.
 
Nassib has shown that when he has time he will SHREAD a defense.  With time, a team that zone's SU has gotten lit up.    That was even true against Minny.   The problem this weekend was too many plays where Minny was able to rush 4 and cover with 7 and bring pressure.  When they weren't Nassib hit on some big chunk plays.
 
The identity for the team to date this year is one that is able to move the ball through the air but hasn't leveraged that into enough points because of turnovers and it doesn't the run the ball well enough or do a good enough job stopping the run.
 
Bottom line as you say, this team is better than any Marrone has put on the field previously.
