I like it Jeff! I personally don’t care for Mr. Olsen “at all”. I would rather a well trained monkey to run our offense, I presume we’d get the same results just a little more amusment out of it. I never agreed with keeping someone that Gruden had on Offense here, being that the “Master Mind” himself had one of the most dissappointing offenses in the NFL. I’m quickly reminded of Mike Shula assisting in Dungy losing his job with that weak Offense, and Rah will meet the same fate with this guy if change is not on the horizon. We have good reciever talent, that can be Coached to great talent. And showing loyality to under achieving running backs is not a smart move at all, when a RB days are done, move the hell on (Chargers & LT). We will not get very far with this Offensive game plan, the Defense is on the field wwwwaaaayyyyy to much!

Jeff, I like it too from the standpoint of throwing wrinkles at a defense and tilting the odds in your favor. They have to respect JJ when he is in, even at receiver, and sometimes that is all you need for a big run play.

Good Read, Thanks

Trick plays and tricky offense are not long term answers. If this is rebuilding, do it right. Stick to the plan, be consistent, and give our young players time to grow confident in it.

I’ve seen a lot of suggestions like these made but rarily are they implemented. I read one where we should adopt the running play that Carolina uses sucessfully against us – haven’t seen it. I think Buddhaboy is right on target with the Gruden thought of “we shouldnt have to trick them, we should run our plays well enough to win”

Not a huge fan of JJ running the Wildcat. The Wildcat is built more for running backs than quarterbacks who run because of the inherent ball security issues that would crop up. I wouldn’t mind seeing Spurlock or Huggins or even Caddy running it. If they really want to get JJ in the game, let’s create a package specifically for him like they have in Philly for Vick.

Horrible idea.

I mean doing a wildcat formation with JJ once or twice in a game is one thing, but taking your QB from under center throughout the game several several times would prevent him from getting into some sort of rhythm. Especially for a QB like we have.

They really need to work on screens and such and implementing them more on game day to help out this young offense. Hopefully Huggins can get healthy with this Bye and we will see some more of Blount. That guy is going to be a stud.

That might be a good idea for Tampa to try.

When was the last time you saw the bucs do anything crazy, oh yeah, spurlock on the end around pass that shouldve been picked off. I think greggy olson takes to the chucky philosophy of “we shouldnt have to trick them, we should run our plays well enough to win” mentality. The bucs have some you talent, but the mindleaders are young as well. Maybe it takes them longer to catch on as well. I agree, Josh Johnson is an additional weapon to be utilized. Any one know what is going on with Stovall. ?

I like it Jeff, I would like to see a bit of this idea in Cincy…I will say, Payten called a bunch of running page last week.
