Many of us are commenting that Allen had open receivers to throw to on Monday night, but NONE were open to the extent that this video shows. Compared to this video, every one of our receivers were blanketed. If the video could encapsulated in one word it would be: Speed. Speed kills defenses. . And you can see open like that in almost every game. It's not just Cheetah speed. Josh has it tougher than most QBs IMO. We get that once in a blue moon but not often. It's usually when some dude falls over themselves or when Josh goes off script and Diggs gets lost. We got it more often with Daboll IMO. Davis had some breakout games because other teams weren't ready for the ball to go there. Our offense seems to be guys running out, find spot, turn around and stop while the other guys either run a post or curl to sideline. That doesn't breed open guys when you don't have speed or at least precision route runners. This is why we don't get any YAC and our offense is all Josh AY.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 3 hours ago, FrenchConnection said: People will say that, but NFL talent evaluators know the truth. They are providing another way to win. Load up with speed in the skill positions and ask your QB to deliver the ball on schedule. A lot of QBs can do that. And if you're not paying an elite QB, you can spread the cap around better. You can pay CMC and Bosa without that huge anchor. It's also interesting in that it's a lot like college basketball where the coaches are the biggest stars of their teams. This league is always evolving and this feels like the start of something new. I think you're right. For quite some time now we've heard things like "what sets him apart is his ability to extend the play and wait until someone come open." Not just Allen. Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, etc. It seems like the pendulum is swinging back to the "what sets him apart is his ability to deliver the ball quickly and on target/in stride to let his most explosive players make a play." And there's a lot more guys who can do the latter than the former at QB, which is why Brock Purdy is now more valuable than Trey Lance. Quote

If he doesn’t get knocked out, Tua is gonna win MVP throwing mostly 5 yard slants with YAC. Edited September 16, 2023 by FrenchConnection Damn autocorrect 2 Quote

It isn’t just speed. It’s speed and elite-level receiving talent. Miami has this at both WR positions. Berrios is ok but the rest of the players in the WR rooms are bums. 1 Quote

Meanwhile our receivers are running into each other on their routes. If only we had an OC with that kind of creativity. Dolphins are running timing routes better than anybody right now. The Dolphins have two #1 WRs. That’s why they are open all the time. This gives the OC extreme flexibility in play calling. The one thing Miami did right was giving their QB every resource to succeed. Quote

The GM gave McDaniels the 2 things his offense requires. Super fast receiver(s) and an accurate QB. 1 Quote
saundena Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Miami scares me. They looked very sharp against the Chargers. They just have so much talent in offense. Obviously if Tua or Tyreek go down they will be in trouble, but I don't want to be the guy wishing for an injury. Josh needs to pull his head out of his @$$ and take what defenses give him- if he does that we'll score on most of our drives. Stop trying to put up numbers like Tua. Not gonna happen with our OC and receivers Quote
akcash Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 I watched that entire game. It's similar to last year. Chargers were caught off guard. They adjusted a little better in the 2nd half. Got their hands on the receivers a little more. That's the key. You just need to slow them down at the LOS whenever possible. Chargers defense was late to adjust in this one. That saying yeah they are scary if you don't set the tone early. Quote

bigduke6 Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 only one way to stop small quick receivers. you play press, get physical knock their timing around. thats it. then they start the rub routes to try and negate that and make you play off again. its all about ingame adjustments. Quote

Yes, to stop Tua and their receivers defenses need to disrupt the timing. Get Tua off his spot, make him move. Slow down the receivers. Tua and that offense play extremely well in that offense but not so well if they have to go off script because the timing is disrupted. 1 Quote
