People see Paulsen in the game and they stack the box because he can't out run anyone. If it's Jordan or Paul they just beat them to the edge and there is no seal for the zone read.
Which is why I'm hoping we invest in more traditional style running like the Seahawks do and get some more powerful lineman. Right now we have a mix of both and it's not working out. We have no identity.
If we move the pocket and have the lineman shift one way or another, it cuts the field in half and good defenses that are fast will just take advantage of that.
Robert needs to learn to throw from the pocket to be a consistent, and successful offense. Period.

Maybe, but he isn't that today
Right now we need to design the offense to his strengths and in the offseason work on his weaknesses.
Under Gibbs our teams were great at covering for the weaknesses of our QB's (Apart from maybe Theismann, none of our QB's under Gibbs were exactly superstars)
I don't see Gruden having the ability to do that
