For all of the bad memories of those Rob Spence bubble screens

I honestly think a steady diet of bubble screens plus hand offs would be the best thing for DJ’s confidence right now.
I’m not saying it would be successful, but it would give him some easier and safer throws. Plus it would involve our talented receivers more, while getting them the ball in space
Reward WRs who block well with more passes thrown their way the next series.
Work in some throws to the tight end over the middle, and we might have the makings of an offense that can score in the 20s without needing OT or an FCS opponent.
This is assuming that Elliott and Dabo aren’t going to make any notable changes to our offense or our personnel.

As NC State was dinking and dunking down the field today to its first TD, I was thinking along the same lines. i.e. Why don't we do more of that? ala Rob Spence

I don’t think we should be throwing any more WR screens unless the defense just gives it to us. It’s a lazy play for everyone but 2 guys. If either misses a block, its stopped for a loss in today’s game. We don’t have a guy that can make a game changing play in that situation. A tunnel screen could be different though, get our bigger WR moving downhill before the pass.
In all honesty, the staff needs to be calling plays to attack the first down markers instead of trying to score in one play.

I would be fine with tunnel screens.

My thought is that DJ only needs to be throwing easy passes. Not sideline fade routes or jump balls or back shoulder throws. Just simple stuff.
I’d love to see us attack the middle of the field with passes, but I think there are too many moving pieces there. That, plus him locking in on his receiver a lot, spells high likelihood of an interception.

I disagree that’s what was missing the first 3 games was the downfield ball/ the explosive plays. Both TD’s scored before over time consisted of big plays which got the momentum going on offense. Our receivers aren’t getting open and I can’t recall the last double move I’ve seen one our receivers run. That could kill a defense if you ran a slant and go or a stop and go or an out route and go. After the 6-8 one the defenders would be sitting back and those slant routes and out route and such would be there.

The problem is we are chasing that high. I can’t remember when we’ve even tried to throw a quick timing route. Every play is a slow developing deep shot or sloppy screen, that we may end up dumping off if DJ hasn’t been sacked. Yeah, if you just throw it up the receivers are just better and can win, but that isn’t the solution.

I don’t think DJ is good at feeling pressure, because he could just shrug it off in HS. We were able hit a couple of deep balls early, one where he did just that and another on a designed rollout.

Playing the option run all day. It busts rbs outside the tackles to give more space to run and then DJ can put his big body on DB and LB. RBs have a chance to make 1-2 players miss tackle and take one the distance keeping them out of the poor OL blocking. Then get the TE's to block and then slip for a quick slant. While the QB is rolling out there could be a back shoulder pass to the sideline to the second non-blocking wideout.
Between simple 5-8yd passes, DJ putting his 250lb frame on smaller players (DBs and LBs) rbs getting option pitch in space and/or shorter slants and dump passes, I don't see how we could lose. We would just make 3-5yds per play with a little breakout 8-15yds.
This would allow us to eat more clock, make some first downs then take a random shot when we get into the 30yd to redzone area. But even more beneficial would be to take our defense off the field for breaks longer than 3n-outs.
I guarantee we win today if we played keep away. Instead the playcalling gave them the ball more than twice as long as us. Tell me CTE made in game adjustments this wk or last wk, or last time we played a playoff game and you are full of BS.
We win today if we take possession of ball for another 10min today but we let out Def get worn down from not possessing the ball at all.
Please make TE watch film from Morris and around that area, please take away his analytical engineering mindset and give him some Mike Leach wide open mindset!
