Play your best 11 players on offense and use them correctly.

You have to play 5 offensive linemen and a QB. I don’t make the rules, but that is true.

The rest of the positions are up to you and right now I think the team that gives you the best chance to succeed is:

WR1 Corey Davis

WR2 A.J. Brown

WR3 Adam Humphries

TE1 Delanie Walker

RB1 Derrick Henry

Spread the formation out and force defenses to declare what they are doing before the snap. Stop loading up the box to “help the offensive line” because all you are doing is taking away more potential passing options while the guards are getting their teeth kicked in.

Now that you have the personnel, this is how you use them.

-Target Corey Davis at every level of the field and do it 10+ times per game. He can make plays with the ball in his hand and he is talented enough to win contested catches.

-A.J. Brown needs to run in breaking routes or deep shots. Curls aren’t working because he isn’t fast enough out of those breaks right now and he scares me on an out route where he could miss his mark and end up allowing a pick six.

-Adam Humphries needs to be a slot guy who is the short option, whether that is slants, curls, out routes, whatever. Then occasionally run him on a wheel route and try to catch the defense sleeping.

-Delanie Walker is great, let him fake blocks on play action passes and hit him in the middle of the field.

-Derrick Henry needs a lot of room to build up speed, use him on outside zones mostly with some plays called with built in cutbacks. When on passing downs use him as an extra blocker except on the rare occasion where he can leak out and go for a swing pass or a screen.

That’s it. Just do that 50% of the time or more and make the presnap reads based on the defense. That isn’t a perfect game plan, but I can guarantee you there will be more than a TD scored per game if you follow those outlines.
