Crickets at another attempt at comedy.
Hot reads and safety outlet plays to Graham, Carson and Douggy today for those of you dozing.
Wow. I'm going to wait until Matty does his analysis and see what he finds to say anything definitively because I don't want to be talking out of my ass, but I'm pretty sure he's correct about the overall trends in the game. I've been listening to his podcast for a few months and he doesn't single out Bevell repeatedly or anything that would suggest to me he's biased against the guy. Purely Xs and Os analysis.
Honestly, if it were true that these hot reads were available, then are you implying that Russ wasn't seeing them? He didn't have much time in the pocket, but he had enough to check down to a hotroute on most of his dropbacks, if such an option were readily available as you claim. I can think of one time Lacy was wide open releasing into the flat but I'm not sure Russ targeted him, not that it mattered because the pass was batted down. Another time he did hit Carson for a first. I'll give you those two off the top of my head.
I'm sure there will be plenty of Bevell threads in the coming season, but I want to say I have nothing against the guy that makes me hate him irrationally, but I definitely think we can do better and that there has been a consistent failure to adapt to our garbage OL. Who? I don't know to be honest. Someone from the Scott Linehan tree would be exciting. I'm sure we'll talk about this at length in the future haha.
