Ben is a great and smart Qb and we have great recievers. the no Huddle is very effective and keeping them guessing on if were going to keep passing the ball throws them off. and once we go back to the running game were not stuck on averaging 4 yards a carry or a loss of yards.. i personally think isaac redman is a better running back and to top it off with a new coach i believe were going to see some great things out there. btw it was a very good article. Ben think before you speak. as a team leader you cannot always speak with feelings... its a business and you need to accept that u must loose a friend to grow a business Todd i coudnt have said it any better.

It seemed like whenever Arians had them huddle up for one of his stupid plays, he ended up grinding the offense to a halt. What I don't want to go back to is the predictable RUN-RUN-PASS, RUN-RUN-PASS that it seemed like we were running during Whisenhunt's tenure. It always turned into RUN (get stopped), RUN (get stopped), PASS (get blitzed), and PUNT...because it was so predictable. Throwing in the gadget play now and then was our only attempt to mix it up. And now we have these 3 great receivers, Wallace, Sanders, and Brown who are going to go to waste in a run-heavy scheme. I think the main problem with our offense this year has been our O-Line injuries and execution paired with terrible playcalling at times (NOTE: bubble-screen, passing plays that take 3 minutes to develop, lack of the RB screen, lack of the TE slant). I'm not a big Arians fan, and maybe I'm imagining things, but our offense ran better this year than any year I can remember...especially against the Patriots. Please, I just don't want to go back to run-run-pass. Can't we just develop a good balanced offense with BOTH run and pass?
