Offense = Last year's defense under Nolan

This offense is getting used incorrectly. They're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. They have the talent to be a pass first team, but are trying to run too much. Give up and just throw like the Eagles. It can work. Just try something different, instead of doing the same thing over and over again. Hell, we know spreading it out and throwing works. Why not do it?

It takes some time. We've been preaching a "pound-the-rock," 60% run philosophy since training camp. It'll take some time before we make the transition. We were passing more today, but still not enough. I feel the play-calling wasn't as bad as it was in previous weeks. We had a few drops that would've been first downs.

I imagine, we'll suffer from this lack of offensive identity for a few more games.
