It's why they need a hard reset throughout the FO and coaching staff, and some new young blood and ideas on both sides of the ball.



Sorry forgot that the forum doesn't accept the "start at" modifiers for youtube videos. Starts at 36:50.

"This offense is full of hard throws where the juice is just not worth the squeeze"

My god... YES!

Yeah. Again, it's a broken record here, but, they need to go back to what worked in 2022 and 2023, install that into what they're trying to do that's new to this offense in 2024, and start from there. 

They have an identity problem and we know this offensive line is bad. It was also bad in 2022 and 2023...

It's frustrating that their having a midlife crisis three weeks into 2024. They have been in bigger holes before. This offensive staff and personnel that they have should be able to dig themselves out of this one shortly. 

Get back to what works. Moving the pocket. Buying him time. Deliberate intent with his legs. Layered concepts that give him short, mid and deep options on each play with at least one clear safety valve that's on his side of the field and cone of vision instead of 15 yards on the other side of the play. 

It's almost like they're afraid of getting him hurt again, maybe they gave themselves PTSD after Lawrence's knee injury on that odd call against the tacks late last year at home, but, you can't do that. He's just not a pure pocket passer and they need to stop trying to treat him like that. 

He has to move. He's a better thrower on the run. He's shown that routinely now throughout his career.
