[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 49274, member: 639"] Wow, did this thread blow up. Thanks Cheese! A couple of thoughts to throw in there: 1. GT's current pass offense will only be as successful as her run offense. Two deep zone only happens when D's don't respect the option OR down and distance dictate it. We run first. It is no secret. The pass is our "change up" so to speak. It is true that we struggle to pass WHEN WE HAVE TO. That is a natural byproduct. Pretty much every offense has a "go to" aspect about it and other ways to keep defenses "off balance". We have been very good, in terms of pass efficiency, but those numbers were achieved because we were good at running. We sucked at the option portion last year and you saw what it did to passing. 2. Pass protection, or the improvement thereof, is very important to us, but, IMHO, it pales in comparison to the importance of our running efficiency, in terms of net effect to the passing game. If we can run and execute the option, the passing game will be good. Count on it. 3. Comparing CPJ's development of WR's to Fridge's is a stretch. The offenses are too different. One area I feel sure NFL teams respect about about our WR development is blocking. Don't laugh. The league puts a huge emphasis on that and it is considered very important. Route trees? Not as much, but not as bad as some think. 4. I am optimistic that JT (the original subject of the thread, believe it or not) will turn out to be a pretty effective passer in our scheme. There are a couple reasons. First, his ability to keep plays alive with his feet, regardless of protection, and second, he apparently sees the field well, keeping his eyes down range while moving. His arm strength is a lot closer to that of VL than most would give him credit for, he throws comfortably on the run, and he has a little bit of touch. He is no slouch. Nobody who runs an NFL scheme would be interested in JT, but he is pretty good, in the passing component, for what we do. He still has to prove it, but I know what I have seen with my own eyes on film. I am way more worried about the reckless nature of his ball carrying and pitch decisions than his throwing prowess, fwiw. 5. The key for us in 2014 on offense, is more about how consistent we are on down one and down two, than how great we are at passing and imposing our will through the air. If we can't force defenses to cheat, in order to offset the man advantage created in the option, then we may as well hang it up. [/QUOTE]
