Well, this next game is going to be a win, because Kitchens is going to throw the kitchen sink at em.

I’m somewhat excited to see what Kitchens can do. I would say more concerned than excited, but whatever, LOL.
I think one of the GOOD things that can come out of Kitchens making the calls is the involvement of Duke Johnson. Kitchens was our RB’s coach, and he’s going to be quite familiar with Duke’s ability. Let’s see if we finally split him out wide more, or find ways to get him involved in all four quarters. I mean, our first drive against the Steelers was nice! It basically started off with two Duke receptions, each for 8 yards, and then the rest of the entire game he didn’t have a catch. How is that possible? Speaking of our first drive, it ended on a 3rd and 4 Duke Johnson run. It didn’t work, but I actually like the call. It’s really frustrating when you call a run on 3rd down and it doesn’t work, but I liked the play call. Just didn’t work.

He seems to have the right attitude and a grip on his marching orders. Protect the QB and give him what he needs. I’m not to keen on interim coaches but this seems to be an interesting set up.
I mean, what’s the worst he can do? Lose?

none, we"re just gonna run duke and chubb into.the ground to.protect baker. Baker might throw 5 times in the next 8 games. lols. Welcome to 8-9 men in the box from here on out

Kitchens looks the part of a master chef of the offense....

so he is a Haley guy how much change to the play calling if any do you see
You can't massively change your system in the middle of the season. Kitchens will still be running Haley's offense, but I wouldn't doubt the plays will be used differently, at different times. With of course an emphasis on avoiding getting Baker killed.

Are we allowed to do that?
Man, I have to admit, I was definitely in the camp of, "Run the ball 4 times in a row from the 1 yard line", but we had the ball around the 1 against the Steelers, and we went to run it with Chubb and we got COMPLETELY blown up. I mean, it wasn't even close. We got NO push, and I think we lost a yard or two. My point is, I'm not sure we're GOOD ENOUGH to run it in when the opposition knows it's coming. I hope I'm wrong, but it just seems to me that we don't get enough push when we need it. Remember that QB sneak on 4th down? Man, that wasn't even close.
You know what play I see many teams score on each week when they're near the goal line? The shotgun handoff. The QB catches the snap, hands it off to the RB who gets a full head of steam and plunges in. I literally see it work multiple times each week. I don't necessarily love the idea of handing off 4 yards back from the line, but other teams run it quite successfully.
