No, the point is if you are scheming around your limitations it limits your ability to adapt. We can’t just say “oh you’re gonna blanket kelce, we’re going to exploit you with the WRs you leave open.” Just because the defense dares you to run with CEH 30 times as they did 2 years ago doesn’t mean it’s ideal or that we can claim ceh is fine because he broke open some runs when the defense was daring him to run.
And it feels the same way now. We start initial scripts off by avoiding our WRs, and defenses find ways to neutralize that attack and force us to beat them with our WRs. This week we caught Miami off guard and went with a heavy WR script early. they have good enough DBs to just play more aggressive. At some point with flow of game you gotta play through your limits versus scheming around it. The common theme is that defenses seem to eventually figure out how to manage our weapons and in some way dare us to try to beat them with our WRs. And sometimes we can and sometimes we can’t
