I Hope BA Reads PFT

Re: I Hope BA Reads PFT

When has this offense played the best?

For one game, I'd like to see the offense go no-huddle, let Ben make all the calls, and see what happens.

Not me... I don't think we are set up to go no huddle all game.

Ben gets too much credit from the fans for calling "his plays" because they never link him to the negative plays. Ben could never call a play that didn't work.. that is all BA.

Ben does call some plays that don't work. But the percentage of plays he calls that don't work is a lot smaller than the percentage of plays BA calls that don't work.

Why couldn't we go no-huddle all game? Just because it's never been done before?
Just because nobody else is doing it?

I don't think anyone has stats on the % of plays that work for each. I think fans just give players all the credit and reserve the blame for the coaches.

I also think our OL isn't built for 60 minutes of no huddle, Kemo and Hotel would have penalties galore. Pats did it before... so did the Colts... Pats OL was small IMO and when blitzed repeatedly they were exposed.

I constantly hear announcers say Bens numbers are stellar when he is on the move and out of the pocket. With my own eyes and in my own opinion I agree that Ben is better when he is moving. The whole world knows this.
When was the last time you've seen Ben roll out on a designed play,waddle or play action bootleg?

We don't need to run more. We do however have to cut out the 5 and 7 step drops and put Ben in shotgun and have more of a short passing game.

See the Pats gameplan every time they play us. Throw short, throw short, throw short, pump fake, throw deep.

Wallace runs the CB off to stop on a dime and catch a timed throw, Wallace runs the CB off to stop on a dime and catch a timed throw, Wallace runs the CB off to fake a stop then keep on rolling down the field as Ben pump fakes and throws a bomb. No need to run-run-play action.

I wouldn't mind a bootleg or 2.. but Ben is best when he breaks the pocket not when they play is designed for him to move the pocket.

Even if we called more roll outs I bet you would see Ben roll out, pump, run against the grain waving his hands before throwing a dart.

I think moving Ben would limit the extension of some plays...
