I expect him to keep burning the clock as fast as possible.

I understand the logic behind the approach they use and I don't expect it to change. It's just that in watching these other teams, it seems like you can get the defense to the point where they are totally clueless, punch drunk, and tired. The caoches have been TALKING alot about changing things from last year and I think this is another thing they might consider. (I'm pretty sure they follow my postings very closely
