Lynch, 25 rushes, and a few screen passes or outs up the middle when Tenn goes man in 3rd down.

In Indy, sure the calls went against Seattle and our D let the Colts convert too many key 3rd downs but if I had to pick a glaring issue Seattle had that cost them the game, only 17 carries for Lynch? This is the focal point of Seattle's identity, he needs more carries, Pete even has said he gets stronger as the game goes on.

Rice, move Rice around and have him role in the slot a few times, run some trips with screens, anything to get the ball in his hands and get a good look at his movement after the catch.

So far Rice has been a ghost, I don't know if he is done or injured still or what but I have to believe they think he is the #1 guy and the most established vet here. As the only BIG wr on the roster we are going to need him to produce.

Defense, I don't have a lot to say here, I know they gave up some big plays but I'm not going to harp on them fo rthis last game too much but one big thing I hope to see this next week is a return of sure tackling, lots of plays could have been avoided with stopping the guy after he made a play especially in the run game, too many times a scrub like Brown would make 2 more yards after contact when a tackle for a loss or no gain seemed inevitable.

That's all I got, I think they are going to manhandle the Titans this next week even though the Titans D is actually pretty legit I don't have any faith in Fitzpatrick playing close to the level Luck at Indy. Seattle at home is a beast, just want to see more of a grinder Seattle team next week.

I would like to see Turbin and Michael get 10 carries each. Bevell needs to trust the run game. More rhythm. Less draws. More screens. I wanna see an 80 yard play action TD pass on the first offensive play.

Fewer read option runs for Russell. Let him use read option to go to pass, if he keeps it. Let him garner rushing yards when pass plays breakdown and in space.

I agree with Michael but turbin is taking up a roster spot IMHO I see nothing there

I wanna see Z. Miller and Unger get out there. Get some big gashes up the middle like GoldenIsThyTate says...

Less Wilson running and scrambling, more RBs running and Wilson throwing.

I think we saw more read options because we with a weakened offensive line we didn't want them blitzing as often. We can handle a 4 man rush with our backups but not much more.

That is exactly the case. Bevell is getting some unfair critique ATM. Alabama's O line is better than ours...so what's he going to do?

Run ML 25 times? That's not necessarily going to cut it either. Even the Beast needs a crease.

Kick Turbin to the curb? I think that's a bit hasty. He's not the Beast that we want him to be...but how many 2 backs out there are? He ran well behind a suspect line last year, you can't ask him to (more than) duplicate that behind this BS we have been forced to field now. Michael? What have we seen from young Michael that leads us to believe he can run behind this mess? I see Michael doing a lot of dancing behind this line. He may break one, but he's probably going to put us in many a 3rd and long, too.

Bevell frequently infuriates me, but I believe the guy is actually doing pretty damn well, considering what he has to work with.

There's no magic recipe for any of this. It's all about putting the right line together, then hoping they stay healthy.
