Thanks for the great write-up
@Harry.
Super complex discussion IMO.
I think you are absolutely right in
JC wanting to play ball controlled offense and do not see as big of a need to upgrade the offense.
But I also think there is more to it.
I think it’s fair to say that Kyler and Petzing left a lot to be desired last season. The weird thing for me is that you saw a glimpse of the less conservative approach. Reiman caught the very few balls thrown his way, but he was basicly never schemed or targeted.
We saw one game of Dortch being let loose with great showing very late in the season.
Zay Jones looked pretty decent at the end of the season when he was finally schemed and targeted.
I also feel there is a need for a deep threat on the team, but
JC and MO doesn’t seem to share that opinion. Why is that?
Could it be that we only saw a very limited version of the offense, because the offense constantly had to play the TOP game to protect an overmatched defensive rosters?
What if Petzing had more options but was told to play it super conservative? The team was in all the games that were lost by playing conservative.
And while we sit here on this board complaining, the offense still finished 11th in scoring offense.
