re: The real reason Daniels is the starter

The crap running game is also a product of defenses stacking the box and keying on Jayden’s legs. The disappointing thing is Denbrock can’t consistently spread teams out to loosen up the middle. You see flashes of creativity on RPOs and screens, but it’s like those are scripted and he just falls back into the same play calls.

and stacking the box only is mainly for stopping runs between the tackles and maybe off tackle. not horizontal stretches.

so on the outside they can play off the WR's but are still within 10 years because they know JD will not throw long vertically. if we at least ran more quick bubble screens and outside throws and jet sweeps it beats the box stacking and forces them to roll up and play man press on the WR's. then you counter that by throwing over middle or deep as everybody is rolled up to the LOS. or if it thins out the box by going wide you then go back to attacking the box after thinning it out. we cannot beat teams downfield so they are rolling everybody up and squatting on short routes. we need more horizontal but then you have to go behind them
