FAIL.

Normally you would be correct. But our offense is so bad, teams STACK THE LINE to stop the run. DARING us to pass it. Even with single coverage on 2-3 WRs Jordan Jefferson STILL CAN NOT complete passes.

You actually have it completely backwards - IF we had ANY sort of passing game, our running game would take off. That said, I still hope that JJ has hit rock bottom after embarrassing himself last year and in the spring game. There is no where to go but up.

A lot of that has to do with scheme. I don't recall seeing JL do much better. It is coaching.

I agree

This is true, its our lack of passing game that causes us to have a shitty run game. But I don't blame all of this on Jefferson, its' mostly on the coaches. Crowton has to realize teams are selling out against the run and call plays that allow Jefferson to take 3 steps, and throw quickly. I have not seen Jefferson throw many quick passes, Flynn was excellent at it, why Crowton has not worked with Jefferson on quick passes is beyond me. Or if he has, he is doing a shitty job. This would put less pressure on the Oline to block, less pressure on Jefferson to sit in the pocket, and we have the WRs to do it. Dammit Crowton have you even thought of this??? But I really believe if we can establish a quick passing game, it will make things easier for Jefferson and open up the run more.
