I don't care if they are gonna throw a ton of screens to the outside it's a spread offense thing and Ja'Marr is really good with the ball in his hands but can we get some skill position players that will block? Those outside screens were losing yards or going for no gain because the blocking was horrendous. Boyd stood out the most watching live broadcast but they were all bad lol.
Jake Browning against the Steelers was indecisive and at a point you just wanted him to make a read and throw it right or wrong. Against the Jaguars it was a different story. Zac and Brian did a good job of working easy throws in for him too alot of screens and a few boots.
This^, Boyd has zero desire to block whatsoever.
I know you are aware but many complain about the horizontal passing, to those that are not aware, there are multiple reasons that include:
- Initial drives trying to feel out what the defenses are doing.
- Getting the QB in a groove.
- A big one, and this goes for the toss plays we hate with Mixon, but they slow down the pass rush.
- The possibility exists that if Boyd would block someone Chase can break a long one at anytime.
- We use it to draw the DB in and throw over them as we saw vs the 49ers.
