I agree. Look at the frustration Chase has on his face.
Also, lets just take a snapshot of the playcalling and look at drive two.
Play one is a run formation, and all the movement pre-snap indicates a run and--go figure--it's a run right where the defense thinks it's going.
Play two we bring Chase in the backfield and it's an obvious run with him for nothing.
Play three it's an obvious pass.
Everything is very predictable for the defense. How do we solve that?
Stop messing around, keep Chase out wide or in the slot and go shotgun on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down and either run it or pass it every play. The defense won't know which one you are doing.
They also need to mix it up with the route combinations more. But running it out of shotgun will keep the defense off balance and guessing.
If we can stop telegraphing our plays/what we are doing we will be in the 30 points plus per game range.
Zac should shoulder the blame for the offense's slow start. His predictable play calling isn't fooling anyone. He needs to do better. If he doesn't, I want Chase and others to chase him out of town.
