So by your logic, nothing will work until the O-line gets healthy. If that's the case, then we might as well mail in the season now. I prefer to think that you can get creative to try to make something happen. We haven't seen Randle El or Portis throw an option pass all season. We haven't seen Saunders try to roll the pocket to one side to buy Campbell more time on deeper pass plays. We haven't tried no huddle to prevent defensive substitutions, possibly resulting in mismatches. I noticed when we did go jumbo today, Thrash was the lone WR in that package (instead of Moss). That strikes ZERO fear in opposing safeties, who may as well put 9 in the box against that package. The only thing that I saw on offense today was coaching scared.
