Ok, we all know we need to have valid run and pass attacks so we can balance the run and pass and keep defenses off balance.

We debate whether the problem is the QB, the WRs, the Oline or being only one year in a system or the hybrid midwest system.

We also know that we need more time for plays to develop, that winning teams use the shotgun and that Jason likes the shotgun.

So I think the solution is very simple. If Zorn can draw up a series of plays where Portis can run from the Shotgun then we can use the shotgun, have the extra time, keep the D guessing and give a year for the young WRs to step up or step out, begin to get an oline with better pass protection - a west coast oline) and give another year to learn the system and execute a bit faster.

What do you guys think about us learning to run from the shotgun? Who does that successfully now? What do think the offensive solution is over the next 2 years?
