Quote:You're right, that could happen. But we already know how this "avoid making a throw" plan ends up.


The other thing that could happen is that Blake makes plays and gets us some points. Maybe even gains some confidence or learns something from his mistakes. What can he learn from dump offs and screens all day long?


We won't even let him try when down 20 in the 4th. Why, because it might get picked?

 

Well, we tried some obvious longer pass plays that take a little longer to develop, and Blake was sacked twice in a row.

 

The offensive line can't protect for very long at all.  Maybe Blake needs to do a better job of "checking out" of some sure blitzes in those situations, but I'm not going to pretend that I know what the playcall was, etc.

 

We try some stuff here and there - and the vast majority of the time, passing the ball down the field leads to bad things for this offense.
