So, did we fix the redzone problem this spring?

I guess the place to start is acknowledging that there is a problem. Is it just that we aren't kicking our field goals? Blame it on Williamson and now Ukropina?

Do we have our arms around the problem? What needs to be changed?

My take is that in the passing game Montgomery and Rector just weren't the kinds of receivers you want when you have a short field. We should have focused on throwing to Cajuste and Hooper.

But the real problem to me was our lack of an inside power running game. We needed better run blocking and a back who could move the pile. Did we address that this spring?

Another thing that concerns me is our use of multiple formations, with some tipping that we have a run called and others tipping that we are going to pass. I'd prefer that we always line up in the I except, perhaps, for 3rd and long.
