re: Does throwing long loosen up things for the run even without a high completion %

If you put 3 or 4 WR's out wide, defenses have no choise but to match up. The key is to spread them out wide. This takes defenders away from the "box". Completing deep passes determines if the D will keep safeties back, which keeps 1 possibly 2 more defenders away from the line of scrimmage.
If we throw deep with no actual success, defenses tend to play man and place every available defender around the line of scrimmage to stop the run. If you complete some long ones, the defense tends to man up with help over the top by the safeties to aid with coverage.
Our running game is A LOT better than most dans know because we regularly run the ball against 8 and 9 defenders in the box and still average over 200 yds a game. Just stop and imagine if we faced only 5, 6, or 7 defenders in the box.

if completed deep pass equates to points on the board. Our problem has been OL could not prevent penetration long enough for QB to set up and deliver deep pass. Not sure if that has changed since adjustments in OL have been made. I think Mett is capable of hitting a deep receiver if given sufficent time in pocket, now whether the WR actually can catch and complete the pass is another question. This got to happen if we have chance against bama defense. they stack the box and we are not going to run up the middle and move the ball down the field. Mix it up enough and we got a chance to play with anybody.
