WRONG.  This team needs major improvements to its defense, and that is going to be a multi-year project. So many thought that we didn't need much of a running attack with our passing attack the way it was. WRONG. This team never established a role for the running attack during the season. It was just an after-thought. A consistent offensive scheme that integrated a running attack that was based off the passing attack would have been a great asset to this offense and it never happened. When we needed to run the ball we couldn't. When someone broke off a good run, it didn't disrupt the opponent's defensive scheme for the rest of the game. They knew what we were going to do. I will add one more thing. Even with our explosive passing attack, what I saw in terms of play-calling was so predictable, even I knew what kind of plays the Packers offense was going to run. I did not find MM's play-calling very good. That is also another shortcoming of being one-dimensional.</blockquote>
