Recruiting.
But seriously, I would work around it and help them more.
I would run more trips left with two of the routes breaking short and fast. That way, Perry can see if Zion is beat and he doesn’t have to wait for a man to potentially come open. If nothing is there short, either run or check down to the back in about 2 -2.5 seconds. I would take the deeper routes off the table early and focus on getting rhythm and manageable 2nd downs.
I would use curls, slants, and a deeper route in various combinations to combat the off coverage. Get the plays in faster so the qb has enough time to read the corner and make a sight adjustment if needed.
If they go press man, crossing routes. If it’s zone, I have a 3on 2 advantage unless they are Tampa 2 or cover 6 with an extra dB. In that case, go max protect and attack the sweet spot of cover 2.
There is much, much more I would do, but that would end up being a novel.
The thing is, I would go in knowing that we have less (sometimes WAY LESS) than 3 seconds to get the ball out.
I would use Brevin and Mallory as slots sometimes in 11 personnel with Mallory the slot because his blocking sucks.
I would run more plays than I like to with 3 receivers and both the inline te and rb blocking in pass protection. I would use the rb as a receiver more because I don’t want him blocking a defensive lineman who has a full head of steam. Those plays end in disaster. Help Zion at the snap with te end and get rid of the ball quick.
Enos kills promising drives because he won’t accept who we ACTUALLY are. He moves the ball 20 or 30 yards with shotgun and we get a rhythm.
Then he randomly tries to sneak in a slow *** under center playaction and leaves Zion on an island knowing FULL GOT **** WELL what the out come wil be.
Zion gets beat, qb back gets sacked. It’s 2nd and 16 and the drive ends in a punt or worse.
COMPLETE AND UTTER MADNESS.
We don’t get zero yards and zero points. We do things that work. If we accept who we are and throw out the bull**** that DOES NOT WORK, we will get many more points, more yards, and the team’s confidence will grow, improving execution as we move forward to better oline recruiting, development, and just natural growth for young players.
