By the way, we still don't seem to do much creative in the run design, particularly wide, which might loosen thing ups.
Ryan does a lot of stuff well. Still don't feel like we stretch the D out enough. Ryan apparently isn't confident going over the top and even the medium stuff has our WR's waiting on the ball a noticeable amount of time. I think that tightens things up, too, both pass and run game.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems clogged all the time. And Reich's gameplanning doesn't seem to be the issue. It produced before and I wonder if we'll miss him when/if we get a young QB settled.

In bold, I've been saying it. Ballard didn't help depth chart on both sides of the ball. He didn't replace one of the best blocking TEs in the game.
He didn't do good at replacing Glowinksi or Reed..
