QB defense reads vs progressions

[NAS]

This was super interesting insight from Cousins that I came across.  I wonder which philosophy our passing offense is using.  It seems like we rely too much on pre-snap reads today and cutting off half the field prematurely.  But other times I see Bryce going through his progressions even when the third or fourth read may be wide open on the other side.

That was good. 
I am slow with the xo stuff and the newer terms but I can surmise that when you go straight progressions you need to be able to see the field. If you can’t you can’t evaluate your options. 

A lot of what we do is just pick one side of the field and move Bryce that way. Which I feel limits you and helps the defense. Kind of like the deep stuff fits with the want to make the defense defend every blade of grass.

Great post and insight. 
 

What I wouldn’t give to sit down with Reich and McCown for an hour or three and hear their thoughts on Bryce.

I remember year 1 he was entrusted with pre-snap audible and so often, IIRC, misdiagnosed the defensive scheme and disguises.

I bet the coaches past and present have to curate so much for Bryce to thrive. Like Strato said…. Trimming the field down for him to find alleys and reads due to his limitations.

From listening to Canales i don't think  he wants his QB going through too many progressions. He wants the ball out or the QB taking off in under his 2.5 second mark or what ever it was

That could be part of the problem, letting Bryce go off script and just find an open receiver is probably better than cutting off his options.  It explains why it's so inconsistent, relies too much on correctly identifying the pre-snap coverage.  But then again, Bryce's early season turnovers with fumbles probably killed that proposition.

Yea I don't think Bryce and Canales is a very good marriage.
