Our WRs will make less mistakes if you tell them exactly where to be. But is that sustainable? Does this make it easier to gameplan us or is this just a back to basics to where we dial it up a notch eventually.
That is way different. They went from complex to Sesame Street simple, and there’s pluses and minuses on if that works

I don't think you understand what 'scripted' means.
I agree, they looked like they knew what they were doing! That's how it is supposed to be.
They looked like that for about half the Charger game. They've looked like it for a drive or two here and there.
That's the first time they have looked like that for three quarters.
Doesn't mean they were running a different scheme. It's the same staple stuff that exploits the defensive rules of coverage. They just executed. Andy called a great game, Patrick took what was there and didn't force things, and Rice and Kelce were dialed in. It's really just that simple. There were some more screens than prior weeks, but drag routes is what we DO, man.
Now, let's make it a habit.
