We finally figured out that you MUST support Carr w/ a valid run game. Early in the season Pete had Carr chucking passes like he had 12’ Drew Brees. Carr isn’t that type of point Guard or distributor.

He does have a talented arm and can make some throws Drew couldn’t, especially later in his career.

They need to continue to lean on that part of their personality. Every game should be a Taysom game.

Only thing I’m worried about is Pete, slipping back into who he’s wired to be at bad times. I’ve seen too many times, a coach gets it during the season, gets to the playoffs. has some adversity, and slips into old tendencies. In Pete’s case, winging it and forgetting about the run, specifically the power run

You’ve been beating that drum for awhile, and the results have been good with an increased emphasis on the run game.

I understand your concerns about PC, I also have concerns about Carr going back to throwing away downs when he is feeling the pressure. Those deep shots on third and manageable drove me crazy, as did the hopeless fades he threw on earlier downs. I liked that practically every deep shot had a good chance this past week, otherwise the ball was being distributed underneath.
