There is nothing wrong with taking 5 yards every play, which is there. That's the primary counter to the drop 8, even if you can't run the ball. Sit down 5 yards past the center. It has been there every time, literally. We've just killed ourselves with turnovers and penalties and not taking the 5 yards every play.
Taking the 5 yards every time is not the solution. Got to get some chunk plays off of those. We can't throw 15 five yard passes every series.
