Possible reason why offense passes just deep downfield

All of the passes called seem to be go routes or passes to the wide receiver. There hasnt been many intermediate routes, bubble screens, slants, or wheel routes to the RBs. We have played weak defenses so
we really havent needed to throw the ball much. What if Cam Cameron is just running a vanilla offense until we REALLY need to keep the opposing defenses guessing.
Nobody knows why the passing game is lackluster, but maybe it could be that Cam Cameron wants to hide his cards until we really need to show different formations. What do you guys think?

I want to believe in the secret playbook. I really do.

What's the explanation for going vanilla against State then?
Posted on 10/4/15 at 9:46 pm to 7Tiger7
It's just the most uncomfortable passing offense of all time

Our recivers have no swag

I think we've heard this excuse before, and I think it's bullshite.
Cam has been here long enough to know that there is no secret playbook. We will live and die by the run.

Easy answer:
Teams pull the safety up for run support. Our number 1 receiver better be able to beat man coverage on the fly route.
Travin didn't get much separation from the EMU corner

the 'hiding out offense til bama' excuse has been run for years and years until it's realized that who we are after 4 games is who we actually are.

2008.
Jarrett Lee.
16 Interceptions (6 returned for TD's)
That is the ONE and only reason.

I think it's possible. Cam does not want to show to much early;especially to Alabama. That is the game that usually decides the west. As for Miss. St., it was the first game and the long passes have less risk.

Ummm, we run all of those different route combinations. Because of our running game, we see a lot of 1 high safety looks, which gives the read to throw the deep ball. But we've thrown slants, bubbles, intermediate crossing routes, etc.

Don't over think this. It's only to keep the safeties from cheating up. Miles only wants the power running game.

If Leonard lines up in the wildcat and throws a pass against bama, I will never ever doubt Leslie and Cam again

This.
I have been wondering why these higher percentage passes haven't been called. And no, I don't buy that you save these plays because you progress in any aspect of football in live game execution.

lack of confidence in the QB. A little more confidence than last year because we are throwing the tight end seam route which we didn't throw last year

I think we go for the long ball because we have a chance for a TD or PI call. Worst case scenario is an interception; in which case is as good as a punt.

That's risky, but actually possible considering once he studied Auburn he knew we could get away with a lot of read option. Miss State is the only game that we actually went out of our way to have a lot of different looks and that makes a lot of sense being the 1st game. In that case, I would imagine Florida at home to be the first time we really see something unique to spread their D out. We will probably take very few risks against South Carolina on the road.

That secret playbook is so secret we haven't seen it since Miles was hired.

I remember encouraging myself with this thought one of Mett's years as QB. Sure enough, come the bama game, we saw some much more interesting (and effective) calls. It still was not enough but I was much more impressed with the play book.
That being said, our D has GOT to step it up. We had an impressive defense and I am concerned about these young fellas. I am concerned when we meet FL and aTm offenses that they will leak like a sieve. Let's hope Steele has a secret playbook, too... And the punter is holding back. And the special teams.
