I have said the same thing all year. Almost every time we have a receiver that catches a slant, or a shallow crosser, it results in a very positive play.
Then we will go the rest of the game and not call a slant, drag route or crosser.
I don't know for sure, but I think Nagy is part of the game planning, and he seems to have no feel for how to set up a defense. The offense, when EB was the OC, would run plays in the first and second quarter, that got used against the defense late in the game.
EB, or I should say the offense while EB was the OC, seemed to build upon successful plays throughout the game, making it harder and harder for the defense to know what play was coming from any given formation.
This offense is random, with no rhyme or reason to any play call.
