Did anyone else notice that the snaps on our missed field goal attempts have all been low? I think this is contributing to smooth operators difficulties so far.
Good observation. That could cause hesitation and ultimately push the kick off to the right. Very correctible.
Some of the stuff that has worked on offense (e.g. The Wildcat) isn’t going to work against good defenses.
Nothing is going to work against real good defenses but don’t sell this Wolf, as I believe it’s called, short.
Having Dayes or Thornton in jet sweep motion with the other handling the ball puts pressures on defenses that Sherriff didn’t cause. The defense having to honor the jet opens holes that weren’t there.
Hell, I like ANYTHING that puts Thornton and Dayes in the same backfield. That’s smart football. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nichols in on that play in the future. Already Samuels is positioned to run the jet. What did I expect. DD did say we were going to run the football. IMNSHO the spread is the best running formation going. You have to honor the pass and the D is spread out.
I also think blocking ability is going to effect playing time for WRs. WR who can effectively block on the edge will play.
