Why no bubble screens, rub routes or jets sweeps?

Those seem like pretty easy to execute plays that spread the defense out a little. A definite change from the same ole toss up the gut.

Bubble screens and jet sweeps used to be a big part of our offense. What happened?

Lack of creativity, and the inability to adapt philosophy from the staff along with starting the most inaccurate starting QB in the country.

Because Anthony Jennings is incapable of completing these passes.

See Wisconsin game.

those plays are designed to utilize players in space...that is not what we do on offense

Because we suck arse offensively.

This is the answer for all "why don't we try xxx" questions.

Honestly I seem to remember a few unsuccessful bubble screens and maybe one or two jet sweeps.

We don't like to run plays that are successful but once in a season. See the pass play up the middle to LF- 40+ yd, TE pass for TD, Magee pass to Dural.
Beyond comprehension why these can't be repeated once or twice during the season, but hey, we've got the winningest coach in our history.

Jennings doesn't have the arm for that. Harris should be able to execute that though.

Crowton left. we still used em some after he was gone, but not much. Cam really doesn't do WR screens much at all. there have been a few middle/ tunnel/ slip screens called (if not executed), and even fewer bubbles.

on the jet sweeps #FreeMiquel

Exactly what bama has done with Sims, built his confidence over the season and he can now throw down the field a little.

We don't run enough plays to set up anything. We don't block we'll enough to run the,. We can't sustain a negative yardage play. I bet we haven't gotten a first down on third and greater than 10 more than 3 times this whole fricking year.

Not a single team plays off our receivers. How, pray-tell, do you suggest getting one off?

can you imagine Jennings fluttering fricking pass out to a wide receiver? De would have enough time to tie his shoe and then get up and pick six that shite.

For the Jet Sweep, All you need is a couple of fast guys, a hard running TB, a QB who can read defenses and.....whoa, wait....
