Time to go West Coast

Rouxble said

We are running deep routes against DB's playing 8+ yards off the line, and our QB who can call audibles at the line isn't adjusting.

If we went a more WCO route, we would be testing those corners with slants/hitches/outs/etc. I loved how we attacked Carolina, and later that game Shaheed brought in a big catch that was set up by the constant chipping away at the flat area.

Contrast that to this week, we ran a stick nod concept before I can remember us running stick. It worked, but only with Olave making a tough one-handed catch with a defender on his hip.

We should have an offense that account for all levels, and the truth is, we have the personnel to do that. I'm not saying that we should remove slants and things like that, we did it in Drew's prime, but was made our pass game so great was the fact that spreading the field vertically left so much underneath and that's part of the reason why Sproles could be a 1000 yard receiver at RB. Could elements be there? Of course, because it was with Drew but our skill players fit something in the mold of the 2011 offense more than it does the 2017-2020 offense. But you know what would help? Designed screens that actually work.
