I personally think Leach is struggling with the Rogers thing because he's always valued experience and age at QB. I think I heard at one point that he hated young QBs. So, I think in many ways he's fighting his own beliefs in the game of football right now.

Yep. The thing about how Leach runs his offense- he gives a formation, a play and usually a check. The play is merely a suggestion. Leach relies on the QB to change the play and expects the QB to change the play and essentially call the game because in Leach's view the QB can see things better from his point of view. And that's why Leach tends to err on the side of experience at the QB position. The unique thing here is Rogers has more experience in a system like the Air Raid than Costello does even though he is a younger and less experienced player. And the other part of that is I don't think Costello knows the offense well enough to know what to call or do vs an 8 man coverage. And that's why I think Costello has lost his confidence. He just simply does not know the offense well enough at this point to know what to do. It seems to me like we run mesh every almost every play almost or inside zone and we haven't really seen a lot of wheel routes with the RB, not very many screens, not a lot of four verticals, etc. Some of those plays could be effective against an 8 man zone.
