Id say, additionally, go 50/50 run pass on 1st downOnly run PA passes, but bootleg off of zone action most of the time. I don't think our line can consistently hold up for drop back PA passes. Mix in boot back plays to make the defense cover 100% of the field, even when Kap is only reading half of it.
I've been harping on the bolded forever. We've developed such a run lean on first it's just begging to be exploited with some passes. Personally I think something like grudens favorite spider y banana should be ran more on first down. It's a play pass and the FB really is open 90% of the time. You can steal some easy completions on first down and set up easier 2nd downs.
