Last year a 75 yard drive was 4 plays and a go route to Ja'Marr who would take it 50 to the end zone. This year we can do that same drive but it takes 15 plays. Not only does it take minutes off the clock, it limits the opponents offensive opportunities, but it opens up the playbook to all sorts of successful plays which is evidenced by the marked improvement in red zone scoring
It's a game of adjustments. Offense makes plays down the field, defense adjusts and plays 2 deep, offense counters with the run and short pass game, defense stacks the box and plays man, offense goes back to deep shots.
The key is being effective in different ways, taking what the defense gives you, and not being predictable. And our super power -- a QB who can make adjustments on the fly, and a coach who trusts him to do it.
The longer this group is together, the more they continue to evolve. Evolution is good. And I'm Christian.
