Baffles me that people see plays like this and blame play calling. Gattis definitely can improve in multiple ways, but some of this is very clearly on execution

Youre right, in my original post I said the issue is whichever one of them made Mallory the focus

That’s why Pre and Post snap reads of a play are so important. You’re right, neither of us know who he was intended to target on the play, but as I originally wrote, short side of the field being the main target pre-snap would be dumb. Whoever had Mallory as the first option, whether TVD or...

That’s the thing, this SHOULD have been the easy play to get him in rhythm. How much easier could that throw to Ladson really be? As you can see in the screenshots, Ladson is the most open guy PRE & POST snap. TVD just never looks that way. That’s not on the play call. People keep saying “use...

Last comment I'll make about whether it was a "bad" play call or not. We ran the EXACT same concept off a play action in the Tight Slots (TE jumbo package) on 3rd and 1 from our own 38 yard line (3rd quarter 7:02 to play). Jake makes the right read, hits Mallory bottom of the screen in the flat...

Seen that as well, I felt vindicated 😂. Pretty much everyone runs that stick concept, because as I'll keep reiterating, its EASY. Not sure why people are calling a wide open 4 yard pass on the first play a "bad" play but realistically youre not always running Go routes off rip.

If we threw the ball to open guys for 4 yard completions (with the chance for the WR to break a tackle in space), the first 3 plays of the game, I think we would be sitting here saying it was a good start to the game to give TVD confidence. The play is open. Ladson is right there, clear as day...

Right, it makes no sense. Though if he hits Ladson in that space I think its a great 1st play of the game as its a quick and easy completion to gain your QB confidence after a tough week last week. He just literally chose THE worst option.

I mean, I guess thats an opinion. No one calls this a bad play if he hits Ladson for the wide open 4 yards on the first play of the game though. EDIT: Also this would be a TERRIBLE call at the goal line as the zone defenders have less space to guard so theres less of an area for your stick man...

I know that no matter what I say I wont change people's minds but I really really think theres more to this than Gattis having a bad offense or bad play-calling. I am not absolving Gattis for our lack of offensive production at all because at the end of the day hes the head guy on that side of...
