But, we do have a proven deep threat (Austin). They were obviously scared of him and all we ever did was use him as a decoy. We don't throw deep balls unless we need a lot of yards on 3rd down. We never throw deep on 1st and 10, we never run play-action on 2nd and 1... We are NOT putting our players in the best positions to succeed! Our play calling is idiotic and predictable.
Except he's done it, over and over.
Helen cant fix it? Who knew?
Except, he did that regularly in 2016. They tried that shit, it didn't work.
Again, if they had some imagination they could run stunts to collapse the pocket in the middle, could have some well-designed blitzes, and not be straight-up bread and butter all the time. We don't need some "missing piece" player.
Because the bottom line is, Garrett doesn't want to be defined by the running game. He doesn't believe in it, and doesn't like it. He thinks it is the past, of football. So he sabotages it. 1st and 10, 9 man box, run up the gut. Then says "see? The running game doesn't work in today's game."
He's too short. Any deep jump ball you throw to him, he's going to lose. You can't drop a pass into him over the top. We could have used him more tonight, though.
