Take away weapons and the other team literally has an easier time rolling coverage and removing him from the game.
Literally had people on here saying that more weapons would make it harder to cover everyone, well... if you remove weapons... it becomes easier to cover and then the line has to protect longer and that leads to more sacks or contested throws and INTS/PDs.
No, not really because you manufacture touches for your best guys. You can’t really “roll coverage” to screens drags and slants…which is what Waddle gets a ton of. It’s a bit of a myth he’s doubled all the time right now, you will see safeties shading making throws tougher but it’s not a true hi/low bracket and frankly those throws could be made if they had to. Against Pittsburgh on Higgins TD Fitzpatrick was single high shaded to him but he was really stopping the post with potential to make the go ball tougher, Burrow could have thrown the go to the pylon if he needed it. Because of the weapons they have chosen to take easier throws, or to run balls, versus forcing it to their best guy.
