Only ways this works

[msugolf]

1) OL must block better. WAY better

2) QB can't throw picks

3) Must run the ball some to punish them for dropping 8. (#1 applies to this as well)

4) Must be able to throw deeper routes, which again points to #1. Better blocking of a 3 man rush leads to having tons of time for the zone to get spread and guys to become more open in deeper areas.

So better blocking (#1) and eliminate the picks (#2)? Sounds simple but we haven't been close the last few weeks on these two key objectives.

Am I way off?

The only way we'll be able to throw deeper routes will be to get defenses to play more people up at the line. And to do that you have to have a threat to gash them with the run, hence why the RPO was created. Our little delay draws won't cut it. It's too telegraphed and slow developing.

Also, defenses are giving us the 2-3 yard check downs cause they know their LBs can make a play on it and playing it downfield while watching the QBs eyes.

Leach is never going to have all day long to sit back and throw these deep patterns in this conference. You have better speed rushers, faster LBers and safeties. If he had 4.5 seconds to throw in the pac 12, it'll be 3 max in the SEC. And the closer you get to the end zone the harder it will get.

We'll never be able to accumulate the perfect OLine, perfect WRs, and perfect QB to make things aline to do what he wants.
