I think we'll see a more traditional offensive game plan this week. That means unit PP will come into play much more.
I think they can hold up and there's going to be some big plays. And when they hold their own, I always try to give credit too so I hope to give some good praise this week as our season will depend on it.
Completed air yards isn't a measure of qb accuracy?
Maybe we will. If they can't run block theyll struggle. If they dominate in the run game Seattle is done for.
No, it's the design of the depth of target. We had a series of 8 passes in one stretch, all behind the LOS. Kyle's not going to dial up bombs behind this protection unit. Would you? This is why you always hear us fans talk about Kyle scheming a guy open. Garoppolo isn't going to check out of a screen pass to try a bomb often.
Now, eventually that 3.7 is going to climb and get up to 5+ because that intermediate range is where Kyle likes to attack with Jimmy's skill set.
But for NOW, you can absolutely see the effects of changing the game plan up to accommodate for his QB's getting blasted 10 times a game, Jimmy's inability to plant his ankle, the run game not working, opponents strength, etc.
Nobody is saying unit pass protection issues were the sole reason but it definitely was a big reason.
It works both ways. If the unit pass protection holds it opens up the run to close out the game (old Bill Walsh style). Hopefully we can do both and have a great balance.
