It's because his arm is too weak and he can't over throw them

As much as I do think we need to stretch the field vertically, what would help the most us to get a little more creative in the run game. We have two running plays, three when we are in 20 personnel. Just a counter, power, variation of the split zone, something.
I posted his yards per attempt and yards per completion numbers yesterday?. You simply cannot operate an offense in a six yard box. Our backs averaging 5-6 yards per reception looks good on paper because we equate that to yards per carry, however what most people fail to realize is that our backs are averaging 12.6 receptions a game versus 20-25 carries in a more balanced offense. Therefore you?re leaving 40-50 yards of offense on the field just by dumping it to the backs alone.
Im so sick of anyone saying this is on Leach and not will. Realistically its most likely both, but to act like will isnt a huge issue is just being biased and looking the other way. I just don?t understand how anyone with a brain doesnt see it
I'm sure I'll screw the ppl up, and I'm not gonna look it up (playing years)... but at a Bulldog Club meeting once, JWS said "If you put a bag over the heads of Wyatt, Manning & Couch, you couldn't tell them apart." But yet there was a huge difference between the three... huge.
I know will is an issue. The difference for me is I didn't expect will to be great in 2021. I expected him to be about what he is (manage things, give us a chance to win) and improve through the season to the point he is ready to be good next year. He has played more than well enough for us to be 3-0 and on the path for a bowl game, which is all I expected.
All it would take is let the two back set, set the tone. Use one as a lead blocker some with a counter. Sometimes run a sweep option. Sometimes shovel. Sometimes drop down to 1 back and give it to Polk, Tulu, Austin, whomever on a jet sweep. Heck, motion our RB out and then bring him in sweep motion.
And you have to have quick runs up the middle to keep the lb guessing. Right now, it takes a 3rd grader to figure out what we are doing. Stopping us takes barely more than that.
And please God, run some tempo. With only 6 ?plays? you should be able to get the play in and get the snap off inside 12 seconds.
If you run a sweep option enough, Will could sweep and then take a couple steps back and let one fly.
I would also argue that our backs should go and try to take some catches past the line of scrimmage more often in lieu to just moving them to the boundary. Let them put a move on their defender and try to get 4 yards down field before you uncork it.
I think the issue with this is that the RBs are more of a 'I'm out of options and through my progressions, let's try and get 3 yards instead of a sack'. I'm sure there are plays designed to actually go to the RBs, but I'm betting most are just a safety outlet. If you start running them over the middle or in a different spot, it messes up the spacing on the other routes (like mesh).
