Passing: A Deeper Look

[Longtimefan]

Sometimes a receiver does not have to be open by much to be considered open. We have one on one situations many times when our receiver may not be wide open, but open enough to make a play if the ball is delivered properly and on time. There is no way with the talented players we have on offense should defense's be able to play us the way they do. Cover 2 is beat down the seams of the defense, and with a TE like Cooley we should be able to get them out of that as a standard defense against us in a hurry, but the correct plays have to be called and run to make it work. Cooley should be our big playmaker against cover 2, once the defense begins to concentrate on him, Moss and Lloyd will see less coverage. We need to attack the middle of the field as opposed to all those passes outside the hashes. The big plays are there to be had in this offense, but they have to be set up properly.
