    Does Mullen get more creative this year on Offense?

    If I'm the OC- and I look at this team this season- here is what I see:

    DeRunnya Wilson- a stud WR that needs touches- plays physical so rarely will CB's walk up on him
    Fred Ross- another very good WR that needs touches from the slot
    Fred Brown- Speed to stretch defenses vertically
    Donald Gray- speedy WR
    Dear/Mixon- one plays- one will RS most likely. Can make some plays in the slot
    Morrow/Myles- solid players that will play alot

    Shump, Lee, Williams- all the RB's have really good hands

    Dakota Prescott- one of the nation's top 3 QB's

    OT's- Rufus Warren and Justin Senior- probably the most athletic OT Combo we have had under Mullen

    Sooooooo- what, as the OC, can I add to the offense to make this machine run as well as it can? I'm going to add alot of screens. Here's why:

    Screens slow down pass rushers- by making them more tentative, this helps your new OL guys as they gain experience of being every down players
    Screens are shorter throws to get the ball to your playmakers- Wilson and Ross
    Quickscreens make CB's and Safeties have to play up more- this plays into making it easier to get the ball to Wilson and Brown over the top
    Quickscreens get the ball out of Prescott's hands quicker- lessening the chance of him getting hit.

    Bubble screen with Ross, Myles, Dear/Mixon to get behind Wilson who is a physical, blocking machine
    Jailbreak screen with Wilson
    Middle screens and throwback screens to the RB's and Walley
    Screen fakes to throw deep with Brown and also freeze LB's- which allow throwing lanes underneath the Safeties

    Playmakers at QB and WR + Athletic OT's= run some damn screens
