Have just been thinking about the first 3 games a bit. Against Minny, we saw a fairly simple offensive game plan, get the ball to receivers outside, some read option stuff with Milton, quick hitter throws across the middle. Every thing seemed to work pretty well.
These last two games, seems like the game planning has not been as good. Milton is young, what’s the best thing for a young QB? RPO and option runs. He should be given 1-2 quick reads and that’s it. Very simple pre snap defensive queues.
When JH had to bring in Kap with the Niners, they tailored the offense to him, half field reads, RPO, Option. Now Milton is not the athlete that Kap was, but still, the concept should be the same.
Early in games, we have to do more quick hitting stuff, easy, high rate of success stuff to get these defenses to loosen up. Thinking that we can run the football in a more traditional sense with our current line is absurd. Milton should be running a bit more, early, to force the D to respect that. Right now they are not concerned about him as a running threat.
He is big enough to grind out yards. We don’t need home runs, we need 5-7 yards on early downs. I don’t think the Cam Newton comparison is too far off. Seal edges, simple blocking schemes to improve chances of success. Once you get some of this going, then the ball fakes actually have an impact. Right now nobody cares about our play action.
Sometimes I really feel like this staff is incapable of tailoring game plans to suit our strengths.
I really hope we see them be smart, put these kids in a position to succeed a bit more often.
Asking Milton to drop back and read the field is not our best chance for success right now, not with this line.
