What Are Top 3 Adjustments Leach Must Make In Off Week

I think we're closer than others to making this work, but, with 2 weeks off, Leach has to make some adjustments.

What are your top 3?

Here are mine.

1. install Will Rogers as the starting QB. This one is easy.

2. Install Cole Smith as the starting LG. The offense starting rolling when that adjustment was made yesterday.

3. Find a consistent role for Spivey and Cumbest in the offense. Bringing in TE Yesterday really helped. It gives the offense some flexibility and helps on edge.

1. Will Rogers
2. Closer OL splits
3. Get more creative in the run game

1. Same. Start Rogers. I don't see how he doesn't from this point forward. At the same time I wouldn't be shocked if he starts KJ again.

2. Agree on Cole Smith. Need to get Dolla Bill healthy.

3. Play Shrader more at WR.

I thought about the splits but I'm not sure if you can easily make that change in two weeks.

I dint think #3 helps us. Would much rather see a TE utilized.

Well if we're going to change, this is the time to do it. The splits are hurting both our passing and running game. Every rusher has a one on one match up with our OL, and when we decide to run the ball, we're so spread out that we can't create lanes or get to the second level to block.

1st just put Will in. I might would consider the linemen's splits some too.

Rogers is non-negotiable.

A QB with concrete boots and a bad OL just gives us no chance.

1. Evolve
2. Evolve
3. Evolve

1. Spread Covid throughout the team to get games canceled
2. Pay some top notch OL to sign
3. Change QBs
4. Retire to Key West

He's built like a tight end. We can run him in the seams and he has length and he is physical. I think he could give us another decent option against the zone.

We need another blocking option when it's called for

Ditto. If we had these 3 games ago, we are likely 4-0 right now. These are not huge things for Leach and he should be able to do it.

One problem with OL splits. He has to admit he was wrong and I'm not sure a 5 mil a year man will admit that very easily. We just didn't execute. Where have I heard that before?

Pretty simple, find a running game, it's not gonna work slinging the ball every play. His offense is way to soft with what he is trying to do. So in the meantime try and find things the offensive line might can do better than look slow, lazy and dazed! They sure can't pass block every down, the Sec defensive players are foaming at the mouth rushing against them!

1 Find the right OL combination
2. Will Rogers
3. Find a couple more run plays to gash a 3-8(totally depends on #1 getting right) and make the defense play something else.

Don't fix #1 in 2 weeks and nothing else matters. Or maybe I should say after Bama.
