[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 239510, member: 216"] I'm not sure I agree with that. Our pass game is somewhat complimentary to our run game in that there are options in the routes. So, a WR can run a different route depending on how the DB is playing him, and the AB's can do something different depending on the coverage, etc. It's important that the QB and receivers see and read the same thing and that along with the timing can be a little complicated. It takes time and reps to get on the same page much like our running game. To my mind, it's also like our running game in that we don't have a book full of plays, but for the handful of plays we do have, there are different ways to run them to attack what the defense is doing at the snap. So, it may be 6 pass plays that each have 4 different permutations so that if you wanted to count each different option as a separate play, it would add up to 144 variations. I'm making those numbers up, but hopefully you get the point. I've thought many, many times over the course of the last 8 seasons with CPJ that if our QB could just find the wide open man in our passing game, we would be steeply better on offense. So many times we'll have a guy running free, but fail to see him - whether due to a QB locking on to one guy, deciding too quickly, or not having the opportunity to see it because of pressure. These are huge plays, 50+ yd TD plays that we leave out there on the field. Two examples I think most will easily remember are Bostic running free when we threw the TD to Waller in the OB. Bostic would've been a walk-in TD. Waller was a highly contested ball, though still a TD. And, another in '13 I believe, in the ACCCG against FSU, another highly contested one to Waller that he actually caught for about a 40 yard completion, but we had a wide open AB running free on the sideline for another walk-in TD. I don't remember if we scored a TD on that drive. I believe Vad was the QB at the time. So, I wouldn't mind if the QB took an extra moment if it allows him to see someone go wide open ... IF we have the pass protection needed to afford him that extra moment. [/QUOTE]
