Kind of my point. We need to do back shoulder throws, curls, slants, middle screens. Play to our strengths. We just don't. Higgins Boyd and Chase are good route runners. Chase is decently fast.
Why we were throwing to Sample is beyond me. Uz is much, much better. Even a RB would be for these short routes.
I don't get why coaches do a bunch formation with no WRs out wide to try to get one or two yards. It telegraphs what you are doing. That gets stuffed a lot. I'd rather spread the D out and make them guess if I'm passing for four yards, going deep (which I've not seen out of Taylor), or handing to the RB. Good OC's do what the D is not expecting at least half the time. A guessing D is a vulnerable D.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
