Well what's your answer then? Seems like your implying incompetence.
How did you come to that conclusion? I'm complimenting Jalen as a QB. I'm acknowledging that CNS is fully aware of how lethal these RPO attacks are and how difficult they are to defend.
The only thing I'm implying if not outright asking from my own confusion is why we don't use it this way on a more consistent basis. We have all the personnel to run it. The coaches know how it works.
It's almost like we are purposely handicapping our potential trying to run more difficult slow developing plays instead. Maybe they are experimenting or sandbagging? I don't know?
I've only brought the whole thing up because some people still act like Jalen is 'limited' and the truth is he's actually extremely improved from last year. He can run the whole show and put up huge numbers doing it. His Deep Ball is drastically better, his mechanics are better, his release is quicker, and his decision making is faster.
All of this if great to see. But with our defense having some troubles right now we are going to need the offense to carry us for the 1st time in a while until we get some guys back. I'd feel better if it looked like we could operate smoothly enough to win future potential shoot-outs.
Eliminating the designed QB draws in 2nd half blowouts would be nice for starters so we actually have Jalen at QB all season. It's just too risky for my liking.
I wish we would focus the running game around Damien/Bo/Jacobs(if healthy) and splashes of Najee. Jalen scrambles are fine if he just obviously has to because of protection break downs or everyone being covered.
But right now.....most of time we have a 2 read play. Long developing routes where the WR has man coverage and beats it and Jalen throws it......or Long developing routes where the WR is covered in man or zone and Jalen takes off running.
When we hit teams with as much talent as us that put a spy on Jalen we will be limited on offense from our own doing if we don't adopt a consistent 'dink and dunk' quick hitting pass game off the RPO.
I'm just antsy about future match-ups really. I know we can run an attack to blister anybody and I'm hoping we do it.....that's all.
