A 5-yard stop & go route requires no more than a 5-step drop & throw and is a great option against single, press coverage. West had been throwing short all game and hadn't pushed anything deep or over the top.

A stop and go would have been worth a try, I agree.

Slants are typically 1- or 3-step drops.

Yes, but no passing lane. We couldn't throw any quick slants unless the receiver was split WAY out. If the receiver was in close, no lanes last night. The bubble screen like plays were similar to quick slants. We made some yards that way, but not many. Three to five yards. That is fine if you can keep it up. However, you go to the well too often you will get a quick pick 6. Long cross-field throws are not good to live on.

There were things to try and ShawVita never did. What was clear that what they were doing wasn't working and they failed to change anything at halftime and we predictably got more of the exact same piece-of-crap offense.

Not quite true. They did try moving the pocket. I thought that held promise. They stopped doing it though, I think because the OL was getting disorganized about where to go and who blocks who.
