I agree that we go to the empty backfield set far too often and pick very bad times to do it - But, something I did see today, at least often and early on was - Different packages being sent out there on offense and personnel… We really havent done that all year - But we did so often today and that is a credit to Sherm and the rest of the stuff.
I dont want to sound like im giving Sherm a pass, because I am not - But, until I see Philbin have more of a say on the play calls then I will not fully blame Sherm. Philbin seems afraid to get in the way.
I'm sure Philbin told him a month back to start running the damn ball as we've seen more of an effort. Philbins only other choice is to take over the play calling which would be a tough time to do this now. I don't hate the plays its the timing of them. When its 2nd and 2 why go open back field? Why not show the threat of run so you can play action a big play? I think that the guy over thinks himself....that's why he may need to go so that this offense can hit its potential next season.
