I definitely don’t have all the answers but I think there are 3 tweaks to the run game that could help.

1. Adding the jet motion action that used to be a staple in our run game. It gives the defense something to hesitate on rather than flying downhill plugging the gaps. Where did it go? I would love to see Faison or Graham get a jet sweep every so often to keep the defense honest.
2. Run more pistol. I think the data is there for this one from what I’ve seen.
3. Go under center. Are they saving this for later? Why practice it and admit Carr needs it for the next level and not run it? Watching Love and Price run from under center in the NFL is a thing of beauty. Hate we never got that while they were here.
4: Reunion tour of Deion Colzie and The Wham.

That environment was nowhere near "insane". It was pretty tame for a night game.
I would agree. I think it was the nature of the game, especially after only getting a FG after the first play of the game. I also wasn’t in a very vibrant section overall. USC, TAMU, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State were all pretty raucous. This wasn’t close to those.

My only thought is something along the lines of: Denbrock I feel calls the game for how he wants the team to be, instead of calling the game for the team that we are. And he needs to figure out who we are way faster than week 3/4/5.
Isn't that how Kelly operated?

Rudolph and Denbrock need to watch the Colts run scheme with Taylor. Some zone, but lots of gap/man scheme with pulling linemen to lead off the edge.

Our gap runs have been mostly awful until the 4Q of games, the wear down effect has sprung some. They run plenty of em

Gap runs with Williams have been abysmal, but what hasn’t really. For some reason they haven’t called as many (especially 1H) for James.
