We need to start playing Smash Mouth football again. It's a great compliment to our defense and we've had success with it in the past. Heck even last year when we were 6-2, we were doing it mainly by playing Smash Mouth football. People saw though that the passing game was working and as a result branded it as the west coast offense going to work. However the truth of the matter is that the running game was so effective that the passing game was wide open. That's Smash Mouth football at its finest.

However right now a lot of our problems stem from the fact that we don't have a Drew Brees type at QB and the running game is inconsistent. If we had one of those then we would be able to be productive offensively but we don't. I know Portis got over 100 yards against the Cheifs but 70% of that yardage was on one play on a drive that didn't even produce points if I recall correctly.
