[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 70019, member: 231"] I have been hearing that Tech should be making more short passes and slants for years now. Yet CPJ never really increases those kind of passes. Hence my questioning of the armchair QBing going on here and on Tech sites perennially that clamor for an increased short passing game. The intimation is that it is the "answer" or a kind of panacea for handling 8-9 guys stuffed in the box. Clearly something is not adding up between claims of how easy it would have been to beat VT by a-backs used in short routes and WRs in slant and curls given what CPJ has been doing with his offense. He insists on deep passing and various end around runs/tosses to handle the defense that stuffs the box. So why is that? Maybe Stylee or someone who understands this offense can explain why CPJ and the armchair QBs who love the short passing game are not on the same page? I am more curious about what CPJ [I]does [/I]and [I]why [/I]then what anyone else wishes he would do, especially as it always comes down to lack of a short passing game as the key missing ingredient. A thought I have is that with so many people crashing the box there are a lot more arms to get deflections or bodies to cut off angles in the short passing game. Possibly it is much higher risk and less reward to try and dink/dunk against that many defenders in close proximity. [/QUOTE]
