With out line in disarray, the running game suffers, when the running game suffers, so will the passing game because much of what we do in the passing game comes off play action. When teams know you can't run the ball, play action becomes useless, and the passing game stagnant.
To this I'd say scrap the run-first mentality, and let your offense evolve into a pass-first scheme interspersed with running plays. I'm not suggesting a return to the Fun N' Gun or Run-and-shoot or anything. But whatever we're trying to do now certainly isn't working.

Looks to me like we're overloaded with wideouts anyway.
