By his own words, he describes his offense is about getting the ball to playmakers in space. There's not enough space to work with in the red zone. And we don't have a red zone run game. The O-Line being spread out allows LBs and safeties to shoot the gaps and stuff the running backs as soon as they get the handoff. (That goes for anywhere on the field, not just in the red zone) But I guess that's why we threw it 4 times from the 2-yard line. We got zero points off that INT.

What's needed is a red zone package that includes someone like Fitz, a good RB and tighter OLine. But Leach is too stubborn to even consider that.

If Fitz had been a good passer working in this offense, he would have had a field day in the Leach system. The hesitancy in the QB running is killing us.

Boy that is true.

It always has. That is why it didn't make any sense yesterday when he refused to kick the FG on the 4th and goal at the 3. We kick the FG there and the whole game changes.

FIFU - Leach offense sucks against competent defensive coordinators.
