[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 74770, member: 231"] I think there was some good info in these answers and it wasn't completely powder puff. For example, I really loved Thomas's response to "if he took special pride in a passing game like this one given that it is a running offense?" There is a deep prejudice in many football fans and even media members minds towards thinking of a Quarterback as the team's "Passer" or "Ball Thrower." What is [I]essential [/I]to all QBs though is that they are the team's Field Commander or Leader of the offense. It is [I]accidental [/I](even if a necessary accident) to that role that they are the one passing the ball. So Thomas replied, and believably if you look at his body language, that in his mind when he passes well in the opportunities they get to pass then the offense as a whole works better and that includes opening up the run game even more. He recognizes that there is a symbiotic relationship between the passing and running components and clearly has "bought in" to CPJ and Cook's offensive schemes and system. Similarly I liked it when Thomas said "everything is a read." That suggests again that he understands that he is the QB, the field commander, and that the offensive scheme is an "option" scheme, obviously in running but also in spread passing and play action principles. He intends to be the best [I]decision maker[/I] he can be and move the offense effectively. I hope he truly could care less about his throwing statistics. If he is working to achieve perfection in each play called as the QB then his stats (QB rating, passing yards, etc.) will take care of themselves. 15 pass attempts is rather standard for this offense, it's what gets done with them that makes or breaks perceptions.
