A simple play action and throw the intermidiate pass over the top of the LB's, the reason teams are able to stack the box is because the WR's are running deep patterns and being covered by corners and safties, we need to isolate Cooley and Portis just beyong the LB's so that any time they committ to the run we can dump the ball over the top of the LB's, if we show we are willing to do that every play we will force the LB's to wait a little longer for their read's to make sure we don't throw it, this will allow more running lanes for our backs, I don't know how we will ever run the ball if we allow LB's to overcommitt to the run like they do, no line can block 7 or 8 defenders in the box with any kind of reasonable success.
Considering how bad the seattle defense was just pining their ears back and running where ever our backs went, I don't understand why we didn't use more misdirection play's, end around's, and play's of that nature?
I also want to say I don't see anything remotly resembling the denver blocking schemes we so worked on in the offseason.
It also seemed that today's game later in the game that Gibbs allowed more play calling by our coordinator, we went away from a lot of those comeback routes, and started running a west coast offense with slants, and passes to the TE's and back's, which was refreshing to see, it is also what alwowed us to control the ball like we did for most of the game.
