Taysom Hill and Route Running

As along as they keep running qb power with him I’m ok with the growing pains of him learning the details of playing full time TE in the NFL

For QB power to continue to work, there has to be more misdirection. Defenses have learned to crash the line on QB power by drawing the LBs to the point of attack. There needs to be a counter to that action in terms of a sweep in the opposite direction, or a pass into the area that the LB vacate. Get the defense to back off sending everyone in where TH7 is going and that QB power will be more effective.

Sometimes I wonder if that play would be more effective as a handoff from QB1? I understand that it loses leverage of the extra blocker. However, it opens up the bootleg in the opposite direction that forces the opposite side of the defense to stay home and opens up the crossing routes back behind the middle of the defense.
