All ideas are great when they work.

Obviously, we were having pretty good success passing the ball to O.D. in the seam and running Patrick Willis away from the line of scrimmage. I think Kubiak or Shannahan start worrying that they might "go to the well" one time too many. Therefore, they try to utilize more formations and run different players on and off the field. The inside runs hopefully set up the outside runs.

I'm not agreeing or arguing here, simply making an observation.

I think we ran one screen for Slaton. If not two. I think in the second half that should have been the staple of the offense. They are just like running the ball,

Yes, Slaton is having fumblitis right now. However he still can wreak havoc off the screen. Screens should definately be a major part of our offense.

Someone said the 3 TE set should be run 10 times a game. I think the screen should be as well. And not always the quick screen split out wide. Mix up the regular screen as well. I tell the screen is the best way to stop a blitzing team. Let me rephrase a SUCCESSFUL screen game is a great way to stop a blitzing team.
