We've done the whole "WhY dOn'T we UsE MotIoN anyMoRe??" fallacy

How about the "It'S AlwaYs ShoTGuN??" DouG CalLeD MoRe PlayS UndR CenTeR!! routine?

While I think all of us would love to see a line that will allow more run plays from under center and play action passes from under center -- anyone who concedes that our OL has sucked donkey balls the past two seasons understands why it has been limited, right? 

Nonetheless - for those who repeatedly insisted that we passed the ball from under center more in 2022 than 2023 OR that Doug's passing calls were better than Press' calls:

DOUG: 2022 passes from under center: 73 (17th in the league - with a mostly healthy QB)  
10.5 yards per attempt which was the third best YPA in the league 

PRESS: 2023 passes from under center: 47 (22nd in the league - with QB injured for 11 weeks) 
13.3 yards per attempt which was the best in the league

And how about Doug's called shotgun pass plays being more effective than the calls Press made? 

Doug Pederson play calls saw 511 shotgun pass attempts averaging 6.6 yards per play
Press Taylor play calls saw 517 shotgun pass attempts averaging 6.6 yards per play

LOL - exactly the same.

Adding to this  - another eerie similarity between Doug and Press play calls - 

Under center throws in 2022 equaled 738 yards
Under center throws in 2023 equaled 738 yards

Crazy

The play action aspect of Pederson's offense (included in these UC attempts) regardless of who is calling it has been really good. They just haven't had the line to do enough of it and this year they also didn't have the run game to compliment it. 

I really hope a better line in 2024 allows them to open this up. It requires a tick more time of protection. The YPA numbers are so much better when they do this and get away from the horizontal and mesh stuff.

All three are complimented by the run game. If they can't make the run respectable then it's just wave at the RB as they go by to the QB.

We had alot of reverse plays this year. One on top of my head was Agnew

Define "a lot", because I saw 6 over the weekend. Many teams use counters and end arounds along with stuff like the phins and chefs do with misdirection in the backfield, so to say that the Jags did it "a lot" is a statement without context.
