1. Start running the ball. You have to get Lamar Miller 20 carries a game and be committed to it. This will actually open up some play action because as of right now no one is fooled when they know you never run the ball.
2. Have receivers catch ball in stride. Too often all of our routes have the receivers facing the QB. There is no RAC opportunity except for the awful screens this team runs.
3. Play more Devante Parker and Kenny Stills and less Greg Jennings. Jennings hasn't earned squat and has been playing awful. This team needs some young spark.
4. The offensive line isn't working so try something new. I don't know that answer but know the current situation isn't the right one.
5. Blitz! Let this defense be excited about playing defense. Need to get some pressure on the QB instead of playing on heels.
6. More Michael Thomas and less Walt Aikens. Aiken blows coverage WAY too much.
7. Play Chris McCain and live with some mistakes. Let him be a freak out there and make some plays. He can do things Sheppard or Vigil can't.
8. Stop all the defensive subs. This isn't hockey. Keep your best players on the field.
9. More Jordan Phillips and Suh together. Lets get beefy up the middle.
10. If Cam Wake is hurt make him inactive. 75% Cam Wake isn't very good.

Dennis Hickey and Mike Tannenbaum need to look at some in season options to fix this line too. Tannehill is not going to last the season like this.
 
1. Fire Joe
2. Promote Lazor to HC.
3. Promote Duffner to DC
4. Albert back to LT.
5. Billy Turner to LG.
6. Play 11 Personnel most the time: Landry, Stills and Parker. I appreciate Matthews, but he has little upside and is a FA next year. Jennings needs a seat. Landry is a stud. Stills can get over the top and Parker is RD1 pick.
7. Move Misi to MLB.
8. McCain to SLB.
9. Zach Bowman starts.
10. Michael Thomas to FS.
11. Move Suh around (which they did today...all over the line).
12. Sign a veteran kicker and allow Franks to do KO's.

I might not win many more games, but I would be a hell of a lot more interested going into Sundays.
 
2. Have receivers catch ball in stride. Too often all of our routes have the receivers facing the QB. There is no RAC opportunity except for the awful screens this team runs.

yeah i wonder why all our routes are short and give our qb a stationary target. maybe because that's the only pass he can make?
 
All irrelevant. Purge the coaching staff. Nothing else matters until that happens.
 
You could make a laundry list of things to change but this coaching staff has to be shaken up from the top down.
1. Fire Philbin
2. Fire Coyle
3. Promote Dan Campbell to interim HC
4. Promote Duffner to DC
5. Never let Dallas Thomas on the field in a starting capacity again.
6. Commit to 20 rushes per game
7. Replace Jennings with Parker
8. Play our young guys to see who else may have the same intensity as Landry
9. Move Misi to MLB
10. Move McCain to OLB
 
Wanted to leave staff out of it. There are enough threads on their job security and I'm not even sure if that helps immediately.


At least it would help me immediately...with trying to keep a handle on maintaining what little sanity I have left
 
Billy Turner or Jacques McClendon need to be given a chance.

Dallas Thomas should be released.

Tannehill needs to bring running back into his game.

DeVante Parker should be on the field as much as he can physically handle.

We need to run the ball with Tannehill under center. Running out of the shotgun is killing the running game.

Sign a fullback who is out on the street.

On defense....I have no idea.
 
Step 1: I need a fresh beer.

The rest of the steps merge into a blur of "fire everybody!"

I agree with all the shotgun.
