1. First drive will be huge

2. HAVE to run some read option and call designed keepers for Justin to pull it. They are selling out on the dive after JK got the long TD run. End was static versus the run and Fields held him in place. Since that play, they are closing on the RB every time.

3. Any run without a read is a wasted play when you have Justin Fields at QB. They had short yardage plays with no read and they got stuffed.

4. Defense has to shake it off. Losing Wade is like losing Bosa. Perfect blitz and play, and the team has to mentally get back up off the canvas after blowing a lead.

5. TDs TDs TDs. Our RZ offense is killing us right now. Call QB runs. Trevor Lawrence just ran for 67 yards because the field sucks and our DBs went to plant and run and they fell down like they are on ice.

6. The OL cannot block our DL. They just need to get there a tick faster. LBs with with the RB on the long QB run and that cannot happen. Since he scorched us, you have to respect his wheels. He runs tough and hard and they aren’t scared to run him in the A gap.

7. I’d have Okudah travel with Justyn Ross for the rest of the game. Lawrence locks on to him and you have to tell Jeff to go get a turnover.

8. Fields has to pick it up and negate the bonehead throws that have almost led to turnovers.

9. Have to pick up the run blocking. They don’t have much in terms of pass rush.

10. No turnovers, no dumb plays, and run the QB. Nothing you can do about Wade. He is a great player, but he isn’t Chase, Fields, JK, or Okudah. Gotta get it going.

11. SKILL GUYS NEED TO MAKE PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
