    Looks like Munchak is going to ride and die with CJ at least for now. Most of you may not agree...And we don't know how many carries Munch will give CJ against San Diego. But lets say you could make the call for the Chargers game. You're the head coach for one decision and this is it. What would you do?

    I put a few possibilities into the poll but feel free to elaborate.

    I was torn between other and shake up the OL. I picked "other" to get Palmer to call the game better. I don't think its all play calling but he is the OC. He needs to adapt to the game faster instead of falling to far behind before adjusting

    I voted "split carries", though I don't think that will solve all of our woes. But I do think CJ needs to get the message that he's not untouchable just because of his contract.

    I don't think "change blocking scheme" is a realistic possibility for this Sunday, but it might be the best long-term option (aside from just blowing up the OL). And unfortunately, "Shake up the OL" doesn't seem like a viable option at this point either. We don't really have anyone sitting on the bench that has given us any reason to believe they'd be an upgrade. Plus you'd be messing with the pass blocking, which isn't really a problem at the moment.

    You can rarely just magically fix a line (offensive or defensive) with a tweak here or there during the season. That's a job for the offseason. Munch and the FO failed BIG TIME in that regard. Unfortunately, the run game probably isn't going to be anymore than below-average this season.

    If the question was "What do you think MUNCHAK will do for Sunday?" then I'd vote "Same gameplan as last week/season". Because that's most likely exactly what's going to happen.

    Me personally, I would test the waters throwing more, our best weapons are receivers, not runners. And you can't force feed any team CJ, it just wont work.

    Without a doubt start slinging the ball more! When that passing production starts racking up you'll start to see a lot more nickel and dime defenses that can be good for a troubled running game.

    I go into the 2-minute offense from the start. Spread everything out. Shotgun with CJ standing beside Locker.

    What? No one wants to keep trying to run up the middle 10 times in a row?

    Like TJ said spread them out. Use CJ like the Eagles used Westbrooke. Throw the ball down the field, hit the flats or short crossing routes. If you complete short quick hitters 3 to 4 yards a pop we can march right down the field and then hit them with a run.

    Fast tempo. Just like you did in the first series vs NE, but do it all game.

    I totally agree with Jeff, we have to take it to em and be aggressive. Keep their D on its toes. That's the best way to give our running game a chance because if they know we're gonna run, run, pass & punt we won't have a chance in hell.

    I did vote that Munchak won't change a thing. He won't bench any starters, he won't bench CJ and he won't change scheme so I am 123% sure that he won't change a thing.
