Skill player rotations in game…

I’m sure this has been happening all season, but you can’t always see it on TV with replays and highlights and stuff…yesterday was my first game in the stadium this season.

The rotations and substitution on offense was pretty mind boggling. Nearly every play they would rotate the 3 recovers, TE, or RB on and off the field. Sometimes all of them. The play where we had to call timeout on the last drive of the game to avoid a penalty, they ran 3 receivers on and 3 off. Then a different RB ran on. Then one of the receivers who ran off ran back on. Then they start to run another guy on and he turns around and comes back. Then they break the huddle with 7 on the play clock.

This type of substituting happened all game long. I’ve never seen anything like it. Sure I’ve seen when teams swap packages and go receivers for TE or extra linemen for a heavy package, or take off the TE and go speed. But never seen a team waste so much time swapping RB for RB, WR for WR. What gives? Is the coaching staff this out of sync that they can’t get the right players on the field? Are they only practicing certain plays with certain personnel? Not even talking about the gadget plays like letting Johnson throw it. Guys like Hilton Sharp and Hill who have had little to no positive impact all season, and I look up and they’re running Green, Brown, and Thomas off the field for those 3 on 3rd down. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
