Time to go West Coast

But we don't have the QBs with that kind of patience. Winston and Carr are gunslingers. They aren't crazy consistently accurate to make perfect passes for 7 yards.

They'll get instant success against bad teams for sure, but a good defense will smoother that offense and create turnovers.

If you want the offense to have sustainable success. They need more motion for one, but better play design and calls that really make sense.

Seeing Landon Young go one on one with a top pass rusher in a jumbo set doesn't fix with a philosophy change that doesn't build on the strength of either QBs.
A lot of the good offenses in the league are running those types of plays. All the motion is just window dressing, and I don't think that motion is a cure all. Two of the top five teams for using motion on pass plays are in the bottom ten for passing success rate (Green Bay and Atlanta).

The idea isn't to run those plays 100% of the time, but you run them until the defense steps down to stop them. We are sending three receivers deep and the entire pass defense is waiting beyond the sticks to cover them. The underneath was wide open against GB but we kept looking down field.

We can still run plays that send multiple receivers deep, but we need to take that checkdown once we've made the primary and secondary read, don't sit and wait for someone to break open later, throw it on time. Goff made several throws last night that posters here would complain about (short of the sticks on third down), but there are times when you just need to live to fight another day. The OC/QB combo in Detroit is considered one of the best, but a lot of that has to do with Goff staying on time as he did last night.

Also, in PC's defense on the Landon Young play, Rashan Gray was never on the field on first down prior to that drive. He only played third downs and second and long before then. All of the assistants with random titles are supposed to be looking out for those sorts of things to keep our play callers (offense and defense) informed.
