His lack of arm strength and accuracy throwing deeper passes keeps everything with our offense happening within 20 yards of the LOS. That really compresses the area of the field the defense has to focus on covering.
Will has a good enough arm to make the throws he needs to. The issue is him actually doing it and also on the receivers to catch it more consistently. His accuracy is very good 20+ yards. The majority of Ducking and RaRa's TD's have been over 20+ yards.

But that's why I want Tulu in the slot. He is great in space and can make plays in traffic and get more YAC. He is also more of a vertical threat in the slot than Harvey, Austin, and maybe Walley.

Those are the kinds of things that help this offense be explosive. Our receivers lack of abilities to make YAC in the slots is an issue that doesn't get talked about enough.
