Joe Brady for QB Coach? [Now Hired]

[harryS]

there's a decent chance he'll be calling play this upcoming season, depending on how badly it goes for first-time playcaller Dorsey

Because of the recent NFL rules that favor both QBS & WR's, it's stupid for a team not to take full advantage of crossing routes. In the old days receivers going over the middle were destroyed.  Now if it's a zone read you can still go crossing route without the fear of targeting. Part of the reason our YAC is so pathetic is how few crosses & screens we call.

 

We ran a lot of crossers in 2020. They were noticeably down in 2021. Not sure the reason why. We ran a TON of screens in 2021, especially early. That Jacksonville game there was like 15 called screens in that game alone. We are just not very good at them.

Also, Ian Thomas is going to be our #2 TE. You heard it here first.

 

Kind of glad we didn't sign him now! [EDIT: sorry, didn't realize this thread was so old, but didn't want to start a new one either.]

Less man, more zone.  They started to use more RPOs as the season went on to create conflicts at the LB position and create some space in the zones for easy completions.  They also built more underneath stuff into the offense to Singletary - if your LBs are 10 yards off the LOS immediately take some free yards from check downs until they cover it.  You also have Allen's running ability into light boxes when the defense is spread out.  

 

Screens usually are there to slow down a strong pass rush or blitz.  The jax game was a failure by the oline and allen to account for a pass rush effectively.
