He'd lock in on Kelce and just not get to the 2nd read in time. Or he'd lock in on Watson. He just hasn't been playing on time most of the season. On Sunday he did. R1, R2, R3 - scramble. He was running the offense at a much higher level than he has most of the year. It was just much more disciplined and much closer to the level he played at last season.

Those wheel routes worked great before. Wonder why they got away from them? Seems like Pacheco with a full head of steam built up when he gets the ball would be a dangerous weapon. Will defenders stick their head in there to stop him?

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?

He'd just stay locked on his first and occasionally second read. He never really got underneath. The underneath routes were thrown when they were really early in the progression or they weren't thrown at all.

You mean flat routes with Pacheco? A wheel route would be Pacheco going to the flat like a typical route and then turning it up the field for a 20 yard pass. I can definitely see us adding those wrinkles in as well.

youre pointing to 2 key mistakes. 1 in the second half in an otherwise very challenging and stuck offense that couldn't move despite frequent possessions and field position. You claim it's not about drops as if you're not trying to have us look away from our overall struggles over multiple games to move offensively off script because we had a few opportunities sprinkled in we didn't hit on. |

And stop pretending that turnovers were just an issue in that game. They've been an issue all ****ing season, and in particular in each of our losses. But those 2 "'mistakes" were at least 6 points off the board, possibly 14. Those mistakes were the biggest mistakes of the game. Why are you downplaying them? |

The same Kelce who was blanketed with triple coverage for weeks. The same rice who really wasn't popping open vs philly. It's not like we were hitting Pacheco on all checkdowns. We were intentionally getting the ball to these guys and creating space for him. That designed screen to rashee was chefs kiss. We still locked on to the same guys but we made it work this time So I disagree. I think our offense creared opportunities to get the ball to our best guys and found ways to mask our worst. Now, does that solve everything? I think we've unlocked something. But you'd have to think more defenses will subscribe to what philly did which is to sell out on our plaumakers and funnel everything to our bottom guys. |

I like how you ask a question, you get answers, and you shut them all down. Why ask the question if you have all the answers? You're completely full of shit. |
