With so many insightful comments, I'm not sure what I can add, but I'll try.
Taking David Shaw's highly successful offense as a base, I can unequivocally state that I prefer a somewhat higher risk/reward offense. Presumably it would cost us some games we might otherwise win, and we would win some games we would otherwise lose. I don't know enough about football strategy to have cogent suggestions, but what I would like to see, off the top of my head, are:
1. More "creative" short-intermediate passes. Don't know what they should be: rollouts, options ? Don't know, but would like to see.
2. More longer go-for-the-big-gain passes, assuming we have someone who can get the ball downfield and someone who can get open with a chance to catch the pass. Not saying every 10 plays. Maybe a couple times (more) a game.
3. Fewer runs between the tackles (Maybe unless we have another Toby and no one else).
Closer to my area of expertise, I prefer a higher risk portfolio, with a greater expected return, to a lower risk one. That's just me, so no one can disagree. ;)
