We are pretty mediocre at scoring TDs in the redzone, #18th in the league for the year but much lower over the past 3 weeks. What adjustments should we make, this year, right now? (Assume no new personnel ads)

Observations:
- fades are not generally a high percentage play, should not be our #1 option
- we lack a power short-yardage run game, so safe to say we'll have to rely more on the pass or outside run
- Use threat of perimeter speed to open space horizontally (jet sweeps and related decoys with jakeem, think tyreek hill)
- spread offense - if our line can hold up, make use of Tua's quick processing to go through multiple progressions with a quick drop
- wildcat with Bowden / Perry

Not sure about using read option outside run with Tua, but with Bowden/Perry certainly

Not sure about using read option outside runs, don't wanna see Tua get killed

We've tried everything... except asking Tua to run.

I understand why we don't, but the fact that our opponents know that he isn't going to... is hurting us.

I think you are correct.

That being the case, it might be that Fitz would be more successful!

Too many fades. Crossing the back of the EZ can also be a jump ball
 
They are also making conservative throws because they don’t want a turnover. When you know your opponent won’t score more than 14 points, that’s smart ball. I would also say in a couple of those instances the receiver could have made a better play on the ball. I’d like to see them give the fade look, then have the receiver dart back towards the cone. That would be tough to defend.
