I’m not saying we have an elite WR room. I just feel like we have guys with skills. They aren’t being used as well as they could be by a better offensive coach. DJ Moore was a beast, my 3nd favorite panther behind Luke and TD. But he’s not considered a speed guy. We have possession WR(thielen elite hands), we have a tall WR 6’2. Not giant but decent sized guys. Chark was our speed I guess at 4.34 but is he that fast anymore. If he takess a hard fall is he still that fast if he can even stay on the field… have we threatened speed on the outside? Have we used motion to keep the CB guessing which way the route is going to break?
You’re correct it isn’t the reason, but it’s myopic when you consider all of the aspects that make an offense serviceable. Timing and anticipation require protection. You require more protection if you have slow receivers. We do not have that so Bryce waits for an opening instead of 100% of the time dumping it off to the check down. Further, if the scheme doesn’t match with the roster we have, power run players in a zone, poor route running or slow receivers in a hitch and Hank is a recipe for easy coverage for any DB. I understand we have some fast players, Strachan and Chark specifically, but Chark has questionable hands and route running for the offensive scheme we have him in. We’ve seen glimpses of good from Strachan but he’s still largely an unknown in our offense. You’re correct in the lack of pre-snap motions causing issues with predictability. That falls on Reich and Brown’s playbook and play calling.
