It is literally like they are trying to not be successful with their game plan. I don't think that game plan is successful against a high school team. So, once again, by abandoning any semblance of a running game, the opposing defense is just teeing off in their pass rush...even on first down.
Where was the TE screen? Where was the jet sweep? Why do they continue to put themselves in bad spots?
I feel sorry for our players and I am beyond disappointed in this team.
One of the issues with these plays is that you have to turn your back to the rush, when he did that he got smashed last night. The other thing is it tend to work better on a down linemen versus a 3-4 OLB because the backer is up and has better vision and ability to slide back to the TE who is usually your first dump off. That said we did run an offshoot of this with Boyd motioning across the field, I think Dalton took the second level throw to the sideline and it was almost picked off.
In terms of jet sweep we show the motion a lot, and frankly I don't love the play, but I need to see more variation off this in terms of some sort of reverse action. People only have to crash down right now but if we add a backside reverse action it would help the sweep and the eventual passes off it.
TE screens I can take or leave. I'd like to see more inside out bubble screens, but in terms of smoke screens they were playing pretty tight to the line which makes hose difficult.
