Is it a timing issue w/the routes & dropbacks? Could it be that JC doesn't know all the routes that well so he locks in to the only ones he's familiar with?

For JC, it looks to me like he's locking on to the primary and then not going through his progressions to the 2nd, 3rd, checkdown. It's either force to primary, then checkdown.
For TC, he wasn't prepared to be in this game IMO, so his timing was definitely off.
But for both, the playcalls just don't seem to try to attack the opponents scheme or weaknesses. Many times the plays are taking too long to develop. Against the Cover 1 D KC was playing a bunch of, a quick out from the slot is a great weapon. It's not going to make a coach look like a revolutionary play caller, but it moves the chains.
It also doesn't appear either of our QBs are getting good pre-reads. This is normally a case of poor coaching and film work. It could also be a lack of manpower since Cerrato "streamlined" the scouting department. Just speculation on my part on the cause.
