RR's Monday presser


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

Everyone saying short routes are missing the wider point: Benjamin and Funchess are NOT good enough route runners for a short passing game. Their big frames makes it much easier for DBs to press and reroute them and throw off any timing throws, and they haven't developed the physical subtleties to counteract that kind of defense yet, unlike Olsen. Philly and Bersin and even Byrd needed to get more involved in this offense as they are much better suited to the intermediate game right now.

Maybe, just maybe we should try some short and intermediate routes to loosen things up when Cam doesn't have time for downfield routes to develop?

We usually do that "fake read option, hit KB on a slant" play 30 times a game and I didn't see it once yesterday until late fourth quarter smh

Yeah, play calling sucked yesterday. Gonna be a shame if Cam has to go through all the prime years of his career saddled by Shula.

There's also another guy on the other side of the field you only targeted twice. 

who is equally slow and also running long developing routes. it's not a coincidence that the guys Cam was targeting were the ones with the speed to run their long-ass routes before a defender was in Cam's face. it just so happened that the fast ones can't catch.

Should have used the 2 TE set
