Don't turn the ball over. Complete short easy passes. Hand it off to our RBs.

In other words, get the ball to your playmakers.

Works if you have playmakers and those that can open space for them. If not, you get up the middle, up the middle, up the middle, punt, which is better than up the middle, delay of game, fumble inside your own 20, I suppose.

If we have somebody who can hit deep passes in stride, that would be better. But apparently we don't.

If we don't, then the next best thing in my mind is to move the ball safely with short passes and the running game.

There have been a lot of complaints hereover the years about Bailiff trying to force his players to do things they are not suited to do. (square pegs, round holes) This appears to be a case of adjusting his offense to his talent. Isn't that what we have wanted him to do?

Bottom line, I just want to see scoring from the offense. If this is the way to do it, fine. I don't care if we play without a QB as long as it works. I don't care if every play is a QB dive, if that works. I am very results oriented, not means oriented.

A QB who can "manage the game" is usually just a way of saying you don't have a playmaker under center.

Manziel was not a "game manager" at QB.
