Honest answers appreciated. I am at best a casual football fan. Didn’t grow up in a football family. I only really got into it about 12 years ago or so when my son did. Hines, Troy, Jerome, Ben, Heath… they were just fun to watch and I got sucked in. I don’t play fantasy, and other than the obvious positions and special teams I don’t really know much about the various positions. The only play I really know is the jet sweep, and I just learned that this year reading all your comments lol. Pause while I revel in the hate of you superfans haha. Now, I’m not dumb enough to think 1 game is going turn the tide, but what will you all be looking for tomorrow to justify Canada getting axed and KP sticking around?
Passes over the middle. Play-action (fake a run then throw it, Kenny was good at that in college and has better ratings paying in play-action than normal passing plays. If the tight ends get involved.
To me those are the simplest things you can look for. It’s also what everyone has screamed about Canada/Pickett not doing.
I’ll also be watching if they use less motion of receivers before the snap, if Kenny seems to signal more before the snap and if he generally seems more willing/is allowed to just let it rip, throw some harder passes in tighter windows, pushing more downfield. Was he forced to pay conservatively in Canada’s system or is he just willing to pull the trigger.
As an extra, on the other side of the football, it’ll be interesting to see how all these new inside linebackers play.
