Ziggy is going to be a big piece of whether this season gets salvaged. This team will not be able to be put on Lee's back. When (?) Tre gets healthy, we have three backs. Let's use them. Shorten the games, let Lee get a passing menu that works for him, or bench him if he can't learn just to play to the next down. We are likely three and one if he would just either eat the ball or throw it away.

We have three backs. Why not put more than one on the field at a time? Give defenses something to think about, and maybe take a little heat off the one with the ball.

We have no creativity what so ever on offense. Putting 3 backs in the backfield is to much creative thinking for Langs.

I tend to defend Langsdorf but it seems his playcalling assumes an NFL caliber QB who doesn't make mistakes. I was disappointed in the lack of passes to the running backs. Very few slants, short patterns etc. seems many of our 3rd and shorts may as well have been 3rd and 10 because all routes were 15+ yards.

In the second half we trusted the run more on 3rd and shorts but mostly we don't.
