    I’m sure this has been said before, but maybe the reason we keep running these basic all hitch/all stop plays is because the coaches think that’s all the o-line can handle?

    Not sure excusing anyone, but it blows my mind like many of you that the coaches watch what we are seeing and thinking yes let’s do more of that 🤦🏽‍♂️

      I don’t see how. Look at the play where they have only 3 receivers running routes and they keep 10 back to block. They’re running slow developing deep routes. They foolishly think that adding extra blockers will give Bryce extra time in the pocket. It doesn’t work. The colts defenders get there just as fast but now every receiver is double covered or worse. I’m not a football genius, but I would speed up the offense and shorten the routes so the defenders don’t have time to reach Bryce. He would only have time to go through 1 or 2 reads, but that’s all the offensive line can survive for. I imagine that would stop the opposing defense from sending blitzes because they can’t get to bryce fast enough. After we establish that system early in the game, then we can start mixing in deeper routes later in the game to catch the defense off balance.

      We used to run a lot more screens earlier in the season but we haven’t run many in the last few weeks. And that was helping improve bryce’s stats until last week’s game. I’m confident more can be done schemewise to help bryce but I’m not football smart enough to know what that is. But I’m just a random idiot. One of our coaches should know what to do to get this offense going and since they don’t know, that’s a sign that we need someone who can figure it out
