The thought I keep coming back to it is if this year's lack of offensive production is bc we haven't gone deep into the playbook? Mostly we've been doing zone runs, low routes, or jet sweeps, a few basic screens but that's it. In year's past folks people have talked about not showing too deep into the playbook until after the bye week or major games like this coming up.
I'm still on the fence about Keon's development and feel that has turned into more of a mob mentality driven wave of negativity. I like Steve Smith and believe some of his points on Keon, but Keon has almost as many yards less than 1.5 seasons into his career than Steve Smith did in his first 2 years, it's still early, I think his issues with the team are more conduct right now than anything, considering the recent benchings for conduct. They always talked about his jump game anyway and he runs a 4.7, so I never had any expectations of him being a YAC guy, just a red zone possession type WR that go get the jump ball, and if it doesn't work out then it's Beane's fault for drafting a 4.7 WR imo.
Anyway, I'm just curious if some think we haven't rolled out much in terms of playbook compared to past years, which has been a trend to try to get on a streak.
