IMO this is a problem. The lack of variety here telegraphs to the defense what is coming. I am not a big advocate of running out of shot gun due to lack of acceleration at the handoff, but something needs to be done to make passing/running less noticeable. I also think ST needs to work with CW to step into the "pocket" instead of back peddaling. This will enhance his views of open targets. While I do question whether the o-line can hold a pocket completely they weren't the biggest problem with the offense against Dallas (minus when Leno and Norwell decided to block each other)

Yesh ... thats a clear tell.
Wentz is showing happy feet in the pocket, taking these mini steps ... I thought his pocket presence was one of his strengths.
Just give me those quick hit 3-5 step drop plays, back foot plants = ball comes out.
Slants to Terry, double crosses ... easy pitch and catch plays. Feed Terry early.
