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.

 

serious question: if this is the case why do we throw so many slants to KB in the redzone that usually end up as touchdowns?

we've seen KB suceed on the quick slant a fair share of times.

Kelvin on a slant is NOT a short passing game. That's one route, which can be often be taken away by dropping an underneath LB. That's like saying a deep passing game is when we throw hail marys.

3rd and 5 and a all out blitz shown. and we say lets go throw deep and wait for routes to develop. Thats what makes other teams like the Pats good. We have damiere byrd, philly brown, devin funchess who can all play short slants and curl routes well. We dont use them but try to throw deep on a 3rd and 5.
