Route Design

[Riverboat Ritchie]

Is the issue with Brady offense his route design for plays or that he does not give enough flexibility or design options to WRs to run routes for majority of zone defense that they seem to face.  Is Gabe our best WR now for Josh to be able to find holes in zone and sit?  Are they just bad at running routes and shaking the defender?

Houston played a lot of press man, I believe.  The best routes don't work when receivers can't run away from the defender.

Hard to say without seeing full tape. But it often looks like the routes are awful. Multiple players in same area, very slow developing, guys never seem to be full speed,

I'd say Brady doesn't have the nuances that other teams have that make these routes successful. 

 

Let's be real, most route concepts are widely used. It's the nuances and the little things that are different within them that change on a game to game basis that helps offenses stay ahead of the defenses that see the same things on game film.

 

Brady isn't good enough in this area and he doesn't create enough opportunities in this way for his WRs.
