o-line not so offensive after all

[PlayerRep]

Our O-Line have proven themselves to be fairly average. Not bad, but not stellar either and easily beat by a well planned D. NAU and Poly games prove this.

Offensive play calling is predictable and vanilla. Short pass game is non existent so no need for any opposing team to play against it. Makes stuffing the run even easier.

We average 40 points a game. You don't do that with a vanilla offense. And what, exactly would you call a "short passing game"? JJ's first two completions were for 7 yards each. He had completions of 9, 15, 2, 14, 6, 8, 18, 7, 4, 10, 7, 5, 7, 5, 7, 38, 23, 8, 40, 7, 0 and 2. That's 14 of 22 completions shorter than 10 yards. Looks like a pretty good mix to me...

And weren't about 9 of those on the last drive? That is also when they found the TEs... perhaps we should be saying "consistent short passing game."

The last drive went 14, 4, -, 7, 8, 8, 7, 15, -, 5, -, -, -, 2. So 7 of the 14 on the last drive.

And yes, all 4 TE catches were on the last drive.

Pierson probably only has eight catches this year because he's only played TWO FULL GAMES. He was out with a broken bone in his wrist/hand to start the season. His first FULL GAME was last week.

Correct, altho he's listed in the stats as having started 4 games and missed 3 games. In one of the starts, he got hurt--and may not have played much.

Yep, and I am also using Pierson when I should say the TEs in general. There is talent behind him as well.

Jordan Harper has three touchdowns too. The TE's are involved. As much as you want? IDK, but they're in there on ALOT. You want to blame the coaches for not throwing it to them??? Pretty sure once the ball is snapped and everybody runs their pattern, it's out of the coaches' hands. Go yell at JJ for it, I guess.
