To me the issue is why are we not attacking downfield more? Middle of the field more? There's like 5 or perhaps 6 targets in the middle. There's only one attempt over 20 yards and only like 3 or 4 past 15.
The lion's share is all 5 yards downfield or less. And you can't blame that on the Oline, their could not even be an Oline and you can throw those short passes.
You don't have to have 5 seconds to throw 20 yard passes. I think the Oline excuse is overblown !!
The problem is play design/game plan/play calling. Or JB has issues.
My question is more like, if running the ball is the biggest counteract to Cover 2 and we figured out how to run the ball well against the Ravens, why were we not leaning on the run more. Part of me honestly thinks the coaching staff wasn't expecting the run game to work and that's what messed them up so much. lol
