You keep saying this as if we weren’t funneling plays to our top targets. You’re talking what… maybe 1-2 checkdowns to Pacheco? The majority of his receptions were designed screens. The majority of Rices targets, which were way higher than ever before, were designed screens or mesh concepts designed to get him into space. Sprinkle in some throws with kelce as primary read and a lot of runs. That was probably 75% of our offense. And i believe it was one of the lowest air yards we had per attempt of any game. But yeah none of that was by design.
What else did we do? We gave skyy a few easy easy scripted targets and he made good yards out of it. We got Watson the ball after he bounced back from getting clobbered in the end zone. The one guy outside the big 3 who stepped up was Noah gray as a checkdown. That’s it. You keep saying we executed better as if to ignore that the guys making all the mistakes weren’t even targeted. Of course when you don’t throw the ball to the guys making all the mistakes they’re not going to make mistakes. Skyy/Mvs/Watson totaled 7 targets and the majority of those were quick screens or throwaways.
