Unless the call is a bubble (quick pass to WR behind the LOS) the Bills have noticeable difficulty hitting the first read in pass plays. Rarely do we see a quickly timed and complete slant, hitch or go route. More often than not Josh winds up scanning the field, waiting for someone to get open and rolling out to avoid pressure. The designed pass play seems to never connect in a quick, well timed precise way.
What are the reasons for this? It really needs to be fixed for the offense to be more successful.
1) Play execution (receiver cannot get open, QB makes errant pass, poor route running, blocking fails, dropped pass)
2) Play design and installation (not enough practice time or instruction of method to develop the precision timing needed)
Others?
Completing well timed pass plays (other teams do this, we know the ones) takes much of the pressure off of the O-Line and QB and lets the ball get out quickly and helps to move the chains.
