Joe fooled his own line... again.
This is why the dink and dunk doesn't work. Have to be too perfect. Get behind the sticks and its practically over.
WTF was that Tampa pash rusher doing lol. He ran away from the QB.
Yeah it's still a drop but it's a drop because the defender got his hand on it and ripped it away. If the pass had some velocity the defender wouldn't have gotten there.
The difference is the degree of difficulty of those longer passes with the way defenses are going to play us. We become a dink and dunk offense and for that offense to work you need YAC to contribute. Josh is currently 26th in the NFL in completed air yards. IOW those 20 yard passes aren't happening that often. It's 0-5 yard passes that are happening now. To play that kind of game you are in a big hole with every mistake.
This last game Josh was in 3rd and long 10 out of 16 times. Most of those were between 9 and 12 yards to go. In actuality it was worse than that because some of those third and shorts were while we were chewing clock in the 4th.
Daboll had a bunch of these boneheaded calls too, which is why I didn't like him much either. Personally, I don't mind Daboll as OC but I think if we do anything we should hire a different OC and change up this predictable offense some.
