    We don't necessarily have shitty WRs. We have shitty Air Raid WRs. We need the following things:

    1) A QB who can anticipate the openings in the zones.

    2) WRs that can read a defense and adjust to what's being given.

    If you haven't watched high school football recently, WRs aren't being taught a ton. Talent wins. Throw ball catch ball. Man coverage with safeties over the top. And it's why Leach doesn't play young kids a lot. Because it takes time to learn the subtleties and variations within his offense. But teaching WRs to read defenses and find zones isn't happening in high school football. It's why we look lost. We've got WRs doing things they haven't done with QBs trying to read and throw zone 65 plays a game.

    We have a steep learning gap right now and Leach will not sacrifice the future for the now. We need experience and we need guys that know how to do the job in this offense. It's not shocking they look lost. They are lost. No spring practice, limited summer ball, and some of our kids have learned 3 offenses in 4 years. Leach needs more than 5 games to make this into his own.

    Eventually the players learn to beat the zone, force defenses to switch up what they do, then Leach takes advantage. It's gonna take time to get teams out of the zone. Practice and reps which we didn't get a ton of. But once our WRs and QB are on the same page, things will change.
