    i want to see something that resembles a good screen game. We were awful at it under Haley.

    Be able to call plays that fit the situations. Still scratching my head on some of the play calling this year.

    Run up the gut on 4th and 1 instead of either a pitch sweep or a 5 yard pass.

    No more 5-wide on the first possession of the game.

    Keep Bell in the back field to make teams respect that he might run for 5-7 yards on them. This may free up the receivers in the shallow secondary.

    Seeing this offense reach its full potential.

    6 games of 21 and fewer points is not acceptable with the talent on that side of the ball.

    Smarter play calling down at the 5 yard line.

    QB sneak!

    I'm partial to "LambertsDentist".
    Oh, you said screen GAME. My bad.

    I'd like to see good situational playcalling. Less predictability, but not to the extent it becomes too cute and low-percentage.

    That, or have another RB in the backfield when Bell splits out.

    Implement a system where been gets rid of the ball faster. His breaking out of the pocket for big play days are over. It was defendable for Ben to hold the ball forever when he could shrug off a defender and run out of the pocket on broken plays and hit guys down field. Those days are over as he is simply a pocket passer at this point in his career. We need plays that develop quick and allow him to get the ball out fast.

    That pi$$'s me off, I don't care if it works out alright. Number 1 priority is to move the chains and not in huge chunks on 3rd down and 1 to go. eeerrkkk.

    Creativity for eff's sake. Haley would pull one out of his hat every now and then, but usually it was the same staple of plays.

    Love the Wizard, but the red zone is for TDs, not FGs. I think everyone would like those drives finished off.

    Plays on 3rd down that are designed to get the first down and move the chains. I thought I kind of dispelled the myth that the Steelers take a lot of 3rd and 1 bombs away earlier in the season. I think it was only 4 times or something. The rest of the time they were up by 2 scores. I'll have to try and find that thread. Anyway, right now I'm talking about running it up the middle on 3rd and 12 or a screen or something similar to that. I don't know maybe try a quick slant or a pick play that is illegal but run by the other 31 teams. Just gimme something with a higher chance of succeeding.

    This year? Haley was Jekyll and Hyde from one series to the next for years. There were times when I was blown away by how great he was calling plays and just playing the D and then there are times I felt like he was just reaching into a hat and randomly picking plays regardless of the situations.

    From the new OC I want to see more Nix in there, especially on short yardage plays. We need more RB screens that put the ball into Bells hands in the flat where he can do some damage.

    With all this stuff some of you guys are talking about Ben is going to have a two stage off season that should start right now.

    Stage 1: schedule some minor clean out procedures. Get the knees, get the shoulders get the elbow all cleaned up. Get all that scar tissue taken care of.

    Stage 2: New strength and conditioning program focusing on leaner faster Ben with yoga to strengthen and limber him up, turn him into a lean mean TD machine. Hit the treadmill and run chubby so you are doing wind sprints with AB and Juju or riding the bike around Pitt.
