I am Tweeting -- it's @pakfanvikes. Don't tease me. I don't have a pic and don't know how to post links. I'll treat it fairly and with dedication the way I do the rest of my jobs. Bet. Twitter -- IN!
BEN LEBER (@nacholeber) is an Elite Football Mind and I am stealing his idea from the 9-to-Nooner today. Offensively, Benjamin thinks we should go two tights, two wides and ADRIAN and do that for basically the entire game. He elaborated a little, so podcast the sucker because the segment was on air, on line, on demand, on Twitter and on fire!
I get his bit and agree with him. If we don't have the greatest receivers in the game let's minimize the sets and just use two, rotating PERCY (in question Sunday), JEROME, DEVIN, JENKINS and maybe JARIUS WRIGHT. Then, let's dust off CARLSON and bookend him with RUDOLPH and keep the Lions in "base" and isolate LB's and put them in weird spots. Rotate Carlson and ELLISON. Adrian as the "single set" means they mostly stay in a 4-3 and we'll run well against it.
Split the TE's wide when you have to, throw out of the seven OL look and find the receivers short and long. We are running so well right now DELMAS and SPIEVEY (Det.'s safeties) will have to honor it and we'll assure one-one-one chances with our two wideouts. Of course, there will have to be three-wide sets to not stay predictable and the defense will have to play well so we don't have to come from behind, but the two-TE, two-WR, Adrian bit intrigues me. Sub TOBY for Peterson and throw to him. Use JOE in the backfield and throw and/or pitch to him. They'll never see it coming.
Maybe this will help get CHRISTIAN off to a fast start and we can sustain drives like we did earlier this season. Our defense has been on the field too much and the run defense is very, very leaky. Let's play the game of keep-away with the cool-ass offensive set, keeping MEGATRON, TITUS (he's hot) and STAFFORD on the sidelines. These Lions scored one offensive TD against us and it came right at the end of the contest.
Their next four games they have scored nine offensive TD's and are doing it in multi-faceted fashion. The Lions feel they have found a groove since the cool, come-from-behind win at Philly. We need to sweep this team, and offensively let's get these TE's in the mix. Remember, we heard all offseason "it's a TE-based offense" and that's what we do. Well, let's start doing it because two catches for 17 yards the last three games ain't good enough for Rudolph. Let's play.
