If you can't run on third and short you're not going to win games; if you can't get 3-5 on first down on the ground you're not going to win games

So, with the personnel we have on the field, knowing that we have to play to our strengths, and knowing we have some excellent coaches, what kind of play calling do you anticipate this year? Will it be run on first down, throw on second and run/throw on 3rd depending on yards as the bread and butter? Or will it be throw on first (we have a future NFL QB and future NFL WR), follow up with a run then run or throw on 3rd? Or something else? I guess I would hope that we are solid enough up front that we can run or pass on any down. Personally, I have always been a big fan of the bootleg game. Here locally, Coach Gilster and Coach Lay are deadly at Valley Center with there ability to show you the stretch play one way and then having the QB pull the ball and bootleg weak and hit a wide open TE dragging across the field. I would hope that we run the ball proficiently enough that we can take advantage of Umuolo running across the defense just beyond the backers with Brown or Sampson running the deep coverage off with their routes. |

I think its way too early to tell. Last year both the offence and defense were learning completely new systems and were too small and too slow to run them effectively.
This year will be the true test, Lindley should know the O and will have 3 big targets to throw to and hopefully the Hogs up front to protect him. The offence also should be a more balanced this season with the diversity in the back field and always having two backs in on the field that the ball can be handed off to or thrown to at any time.
The defense will still be a bit of a question mark this season. The players will know the system a bit better but I still don’t see where they will get a pass rush from and I still think coverage will be a problem (I think Whittaker ends up starting at CB half way through the season).
