5. Open up the play-book

This has nothing to do with practice, reps or chemistry. It’s time for the offense to open up the play-book.

There have been way too many times where this offense has taken a conservative mindset into a game and they’ve suffered as a result. This offense has a “feeling out process” in the first quarter. They look and see what the defense will give them.

From there, the Tigers scheme around it.

Heading into these next few weeks, I expect them to open up the play-book and come out attacking. This offense is too talented to not be clicking on all cylinders and one way you can do that is opening up the play-book and allowing them to play loose. There have been far too many back-shoulder fades and WR screen passes.
