And this offense Is still a work In progress.
But is it too hard to ask for a completion
Over 40.yds to a WR?
Not one WR had a catch over 50 yds last season.
And through 2 preseason games I have yet to
See a 50 yd plus catch by a WR.
Yet last night I seen a 55 yd strike to Davis.
A week before Kelce had a 36 yd catch on the opening play.
Yeah I know Green/Ross haven't played.
Im going to think more about this but this trend is bothering me.
Why can't this offense vertically cannot attack defenses?

AD missed a long throw in week one to Malone, may have been 45 yards if completed, but could have been 80 if they were at 20 yard line and he puts it out front for him. 

Also, OL needs to hold up so hopefully pass blocking will improve so coaches have confidence to go deep. But understand, deep passes 9over 50 yards) are completed less than 20% of the time versus 65% short and medium range. A miss on a long pass puts a team behind in down and distance and a team with a weak OL then in deep crap to move the chains.
