1. Execution

I want to see the players catch catchable balls, not fumble, and not whiff on blocks. Those simple things make all the difference.

2. Trust JC

I know JC is young, but I don't think our run-blocking is good enough just yet. I would prefer to put the ball in JC's hands, than to rely on the running game.

3. Give Betts the Ball

I haven't changed my position with regard to Portis one iota. I love the guy, but I have also been saying that Betts needs to get the ball more. I think we should let Betts stay in on an entire series, then go to Portis for two, then go to Betts, etc.

4. Use Cooley More As a Receiver

I understand that our O-line is banged up, but Cooley needs to be running routes. Cooley is far more valuable to this team as a receiving threat than a blocker. He can occupy one defender in a blocking role or take up one or two defenders in a receiving role. Let him chip guys and then go out on his routes. He's the best receiver we've got right now.
