Driskel for all his arm.strenght is garbage on vertical throws.
so safties didnt have to fear Driskel beating them deep.
Lazor would use 3 routes with Joe.
in the screen game...check down underneath and wheel route.
Lazor had no imagination with him
Even the RBs that catch a ton of passes usually run simple patterns like screens, drags, wheel routes, swing passes, etc.
Route running is a very underrated skill and it takes lots of practice. Many WRs work on it full time and still struggle to get open just by getting in and out of cuts. Same with timing patterns.
I agree 100% that both of our RBs need to be used as receivers, and I also agree that more creativity may be required. But the creativity may be more along the lines of play design that get the RBs into open spaces that have been cleared by other receivers. It seemed to me that too many times when we did throw to our RBs there was a defender right on top of them.
