He did try something different. He got Tom Brady with the most Passing Attempts in history. What did you want him to do? Run the ball even less?
The offense had success with Rachaad in the game running the ball, but Fat Lenny found his way onto the field running into the line and defenders. The offense also had success running the no huddle. I'm not saying Byron is completely at fault. He's not. I'm just saying he wasn't as helpless as y'all make him out to be.
