[QUOTE="Techster, post: 252169, member: 360"] RE: Short passing game One of the things about the defense crowding the box is that defenders are able to cut off passing lanes. That's not good when our QB is around 5'9ish. Unlike most "spread" alignments where the slot receivers are are 5-8 yards away from the OTs, our ABs (essentially slot WR for all intents and purposes in our offense) are extremely close to the tackles. That's a different passing angle than typical slot WRs in other offenses. Why is 5-8 yards of position important? It provides a better angle for passing lanes. If you haven't seen it yet, you should watch videos of Air Raid and West Coast passing breakdowns and they discuss passing angles and lanes. We've had some success in the past with WRs doing quick slants, or shorter timing routes. One of the byproducts of that with the WRs is the CBs start playing closer to the LOS. Well, given what we do with our running game, having CBs playing closer to the LOS is not a good thing for our option game. There's a lot of moving parts to any passing game. Let's be realistic here, we're a running team. The more we put into the passing game, the less we put into the running game. Right now, our offense isn't humming to the point our running game is where it needs to be therefore the focus is correcting our bread and butter: the option run game. Until we're able to do that, I think our passing will have to suffer a bit. However, I do believe we can try to implement 1-2 new passing or option concepts per game that complements our base offense to slow the defenses from playing downhill. Concepts like the Run-Pass Option I suggested in another thread. Something new to make the defense hesitant since they haven't seen it on film. Speed of defenses reacting to our offense is our biggest enemy. When CPJ first got here, defender's heads were spinning when they played us. I think after 9 years, defenses have seen our offense on the field and in film room enough that our adjustments and playing against us has slowed down. They're able to play faster now...and against teams with superior athletes, it becomes an uphill battle for us. [/QUOTE]
