At the halfway point we have only 1 40+yard pass play. We typically average 11+ 40 yard pass plays in the season with Andy.
Interestingly we are currently on average for the most 20+yard pass plays in an season with Andy. Guess that speaks to Lazor's philosophy of get it out of Andy's hand quickly on short, medium depth routes.
That said maybe this is an opportunity to vary the playbook up in the 2nd half and introduce a few deeper pass attempts on defenses sitting in on the running game, quicker pass drops??
Andy has to have time to let the receivers get downfield to throw the deep ball. The oline has done a decent job protecting him because he is getting the ball out quickly. If he holds it, he is going to be sacked. It's just that simple.
