Kicking the carcass, one more time...

[medaille]

I think time to throw is kind of a meaningless stat. In general, I think a long time to throw is generally bad, and a short time to throw is generally better, because the offense is clicking when the QB is throwing quick and on time, but there’s so many factors that go into how long it takes to throw the ball that it’s hard to differentiate what’s what and you end up going back to the context anyway.

Regarding quick throws, I don’t think the team has ever really tried them in the KOC era. Not sure they should be dismissing them so quickly. Regardless, when things aren’t going well, they need to have something else to try, as it doesn’t really look different at all from my eyes. Is anyone else detecting changes in play designs at all when the other teams take away our first things. I also think there’s a lot of other things they could try, that they aren’t trying. I don’t think we’re really a screen team. We’re a little too finesse at the skill positions to really be hammering screens, especially WR screens.

I think I’m most interested in trying to figure out how to become a top tier rushing team. We’ve been a pass to setup the run team for all of KOC’s career. This year, more than others, we probably need to develop the ability to run the ball even if nothing else is working.
