Rogers stat...

[CadaverDawg]

9 throws of 20+ in over 150 attempts is embarrassing and unacceptable.

[confucius say]

So on passes of 10 yards or more he is 25/38 (66%) for 496 yards (13 per attempt) with 4TD and 0 INT. Do it more

[ShotgunDawg]

We’ve definitely got to attack more

Exactly. It seems to be a confidence issue. He only goes deep when the game is on the line and we have no choice. He's got to do it more, or else we have to find someone that will.

Yeah somethings definitely different when he HAS to push the ball down the field. I appreciate him wanting to protect the ball but he's bogging us down. He's shown he can move this offense and move it quickly but he's got to quit being so cautious. Probably traumatized by watching Costello throw all those ints last year(I know I was).

Yeah me too, and I agree with you on all points

[MaroonFlounder]

It's frustrating.

Makai Polk has PROVEN he can win 50/50 balls. Throw them up and let him go get them.

You also might draw a pass interference penalty. There are positives to throwing it deep.

[Maverick91]

I could care less about the deep ball, just freaking change that 28.2 behind the line of scrimmage. That is atrocious!

Haha so true

[CadaverDawg]

We have as many yards on 7 completions of 20+ as we do 42 completions behind the LOS.

Ironically his only interception thus far was on a pass behind the LOS.

Will is like Matt Wyatt without the turnovers.

It's insane. Everyone in the stands can see people open. Like wide ass open. And Will checks it down most of the time.

Ouch!

[Commercecomet24]

Even if you don't complete them you've got to chunk it deep at least a couple times a game to open things up. Heck even Brady's last year in New England when he didn't have any legitimate deep threat he was hampered big time because there's no way to loosen up a defense.

That's the other thing. It's not like we don't have good receivers now. Heath and Polk can catch deep balls. Walley is a play maker. Not to mention others. Even Austin Williams is a solid receiver.

I cannot imagine how much different our season would look if that wasn't the case.

Yep, I think I remember seeing somewhere where Jackie said he would call a fly route once every 20+ plays just to keep the safeties from crashing. I think he even said he'd tell Madkin he didn't care if he overthrew it by 10 yards, that we were just doing it for show...if we caught it that was a bonus. At the very least, we need to do that, bc nobody respects our offense beyond 10-15 yards....nobody.

Yeah and we have burners like Calvin and Tulu as well who can surely get deep quick.

You absolutely have to. You have to at least make people think you can do it and looking at the stats Will has done pretty well at it. If the whole defense is playing within 10 yards of the LOS way to congested.

[CadaverDawg]

So I just realized he has a higher completion percentage, 78%, on passes 20+, than he has on passes 0-9 yds (77%)

That is wild
