[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 632125, member: 10086"] One thing that I remember Favre doing consistently against fast D fronts was the short slant routes to Driver etc.. For 5 yards plus the 1-2 YAC as he was drug down. Going further back, We also utilized guys like Dorsey with the power screens etc.. A big key to successful production on O is keeping their D on the field and wearing the bigger guys down with fast consecutive high probability throws in the 5 yard range. Those involve receivers that can get YAC like Driver used to do with his stiff arm and like TEs can do with their momentum. I think we should utilize our TEs more and also our RB more in the short passing game. It's becoming more obvious to me how a dominant TE can change field position and we lack that. In 2014 Camp their was an emphasis on using Lacy as a receiver more, he was like sticky hands, Lacy responded by plowing guys over and spinning off them for many 6-8 yard gains setting us up for 2nd n short, but in 2015 his role as a receiver has been diminished and more often than not he's being contacted in the backfield on runs in the A,B gaps. We also have been in 3rd n short (2yds) during several games this year and then thrown 15-20 yards incomplete. That's generally lower probability stuff that kills drives rather than a higher probability pass to a RB for 3 yards. We need to do a better job being patient and increasing an array of short yardage options that focus on moving the chains, the points will take care of themselves. They say that a running game opens the passing game. I would argue to venture that, with an accurate QB like Aaron, the reverse holds true. We have the time and at 6-1 we can afford to explore some different strategies and right this ship before it hits an iceberg. I actually feel good about getting some guys back like Davante, Ty and Quarless in the near future and its more about peaking going into the playoffs than it is about our record. It would be nice to play in Lambeau, yes, but I'll trade that for our Offense putting up 27-30 pts per game going into post season [/QUOTE]
