Absolutely - I'm not arguing; I'm expounding.

Another thought regarding the WRBC nonsense - our WRs are really 'niche' guys. They have very specific skill-sets and it seems the team uses them in those specific roles.

Those rotations may somewhat telegraph what it is we're doing - could be part of the reason why seemingly simple defenses (Denver being the most obvious example) have given us fits. They know that when the see "WR Package 4" that they're gonna get a limited set of routes and likely what they'll be. If it's WRP2, that's Y set of routes, etc...

That's pure conjecture, but given that one of Andy's biggest strengths are tendency breakers, to have routes specific to packages and then call those packages to run those routes would really blunt that ability to break tendencies, no?

Just a theory. Perhaps it's born of necessity but it didn't seem like we were nearly as bad about that last year. Maybe we were and the league caught up a bit?

But if Rice can get outside and stay outside most of the time, that's a fixed point. With Kelce and Rice as fixed points for the others to orbit around, that's going to create more ability to be varied despite the personnel grouping. MVS is presumptively another one who's likely to be out there 60+% of the time. But if Toney, Hardman or {sigh} Moore can get to where they can be put out there for 60-70% of the snaps - or shit, Watson for that matter - you really could get back to the tendency breakers and concepts that may be simpler but at least aren't as telegraphed?
