Maybe it's just me - offensive rotation

But I think that our offensive rotation is just as big of an issue as our defensive rotation. I get that having the balance to throw to just about anybody who steps in at receiver can be useful. However, when you have someone with Bear's size and athletic ability who pretty much catches the ball when its thrown to him, you ride him until they stop him. Not leaning on talents like his and Malcolm Johnson to a lesser degree hurt our rhythm and didn't put the ball in the hands of our best players. I'm not saying don't use the other guys, but I wouldn't sub anybody for Bear or Malcolm unless they are tapping their helmet.

See Amari Cooper and the Alabama game. He pretty much won it for them. Before anybody goes crazy I'm NOT saying Bear is equal to Cooper, but I do think he is OUR Cooper.

Can you imagine Sherrill just randomly rotating Moulds in and out of the game for any reason? Me neither...
