Send 4 guys out in the pattern and have a back stay in and help out. These are things our high priced coaching staff should have easily figured out.

Sometimes you just have to trust your guy to get the job done. Saunders playbook may be seven hundred pages thick, but like every other coach, he's limited to the amount he can put in for a game by the amount of practice time he has. If 50% of the gameplan relies on Cooley attacking the defense, then he loses 50% of the gameplan by keeping him in to help Heyer/Wade.

We were pretty successful in protecting the QB when we helped on Kampman, but then no one was getting open (either that or Campbell missed them). It's sort of a double edged sword. The best way to approach it is to mix it up like we did and help Heyer sometimes, but not to often. As long as you keep them off balance, you give yourself a chance to be successful even when you have a matchup deficiency.
