Passing is better…so, why run?

That coupled with the fact that Josh has been worse off script this year

I was watching Eric Wood's podcast yesterday with Stevie Johnson and he said Josh needs to be more boss than buddy with his WRs and call his own plays.

To me it does kinda look like he's a bit handcuffed by Brady. Heck do we even have a pass coordinator?

 

He sure isn't looking like Jim Kelly on the sideline. I'd rather see him look like he's in charge.

 

I've been told that Rome wasn't built in a day to which I'd reply....That's cause I wasn't running that job. Take charge Josh!

The problem with the offense is not the run-pass ratio.

 

It's that they're below average when they throw the ball.

In what metrics?  Don’t think that is true for yards per attempt.  Td percentage, int percentage. 

 

It's what I'm seeing with my eyes, Matt.

Aaron Rodgers used to do that in GB. He would call completely different plays consistently than what McCarthy gave him. So it was basically as if they had no sideline OC. Ultimately, McCarthy got the boot. 

 

Allen probably won't do that because he doesn't want to offend his coaches. Which is part of the problem. Too many nice guys.

This is a video posted a couple weeks ago, so if it was shared here already, my apologies. I did a quick search and didn't find it.

 

Interesting look at why teams still run the ball so much when passing seems to be clearly better. In the end, teams may want to run the ball as much or more than pass it. Is Joe Brady just following game theory? Are we all crazy to think that we run the ball too much, especially with an MVP at QB? Check it out and see what you think.

 

 

 

By the 2000s, the NFL had shifted into a passing league so defenses started drafting players smaller & faster to play the pass. I think we are just seeing the opposite happen now. Offenses are countering those speedy defenses w/ power run games and heavy sets. It’s just a constant evolution happening.

What we saw in New York w/ Rodgers was him basically being his own offensive coordinator. Obviously didn’t work out very well. Coaches coach, players play. Peyton Manning is the kind of QB that has his own built in OC.
