Maybe...but just because the recipe is there doesn't mean that everyone has the ingredients to pull it off. You really need to trust your corners, and you really need to have a front 7 that's quick, active, and physical enough to disrupt the QB. Not all defenses fit that bill. They can certainly try it, though.
Quote:(this offense really misses E.J. Smith, by the way...he gives the offense more looks and the defenses more things to think about...the sooner he's back on the field & effective, the better)Except we right now don't so much have the big play part with Wilson out. There are some young guys that maybe could fill those shoes. It is also a matter of QB protection for patterns that take a while. Any thoughts you have there also appreciated.
And I think you've got it right...there's no question to me that this offensive line is better at pass pro than run blocking right now (maybe much better). That's not a sentence I necessarily expected to be typing this season. With this receiving corps (though those ranks seem to be thinning) and this QB, that means big plays...but it also means it's tough to get the little plays you need to stay on schedule & move the chains. As much as I've come to love watching McKee sling the rock, this offense won't be at its full potential until that turns around.
Seriously Troy, you are a great conduit to the team. You are also not a puppet of anybody, which gives you more credibility. I really like the way you tell it like you think it is without being accusatory in the process. Wish others would master that.
