Why Deep To Moose

[scpanther22]

:banghead:

Jake Delhomme said the play can be effective.

“Sometimes teams have doubled Steve (Smith) so much,” Delhomme said. “We haven’t hit yet and that’s something we’re not going to stop trying. I overthrew it twice in the Philly game. In Dallas I probably tried to place it to him a little too much. He said he lost it. It’s something we’re going to keep trying.”

Because teams expect the deep ball to go to Smitty...

[Cyberjag]

Because Davidson's been watching game film from 1998.

Hell, it seems like all of our passing routes take 5 seconds to run. I do agree with you on your point, sending Smitty deep would draw a safety over the top and open up some underneath stuff. Davidson should be DC, he has shut down the run game and Smitty for 3 weeks straight.

No, more like 2004. They scored a bunch on that play in 04.

Is Moose any slower than he was in 04? I don't know.

That is why Fox and Jake won't be here.....they will keep trying. Sure it is a bad play that totally goes against Moose's strengths and plays into his weaknesses as a WR.....but they will keep trying.

Some would say if put Kenny Moore in and run a 3 WR set if you want to go vertical to someone not named Smitty to catch a defense off-guard......Fox and Jake fart in the general direction of those so foolish to suggest it.

Hell line up Rosario out wide and let him run it.

[Kettle]

Hell line up Rosario out wide and let him run it.

the kid has looked great when he gets the chance.

That is totally pathetic thinking and that is the wrong mentality to have. Freakin Moose on a deep route. Least try Goodson on a jet route...

[KillerKat]

They just need to stop the deep ball all together. Jake can not throw it deep. It's always lame under thrown ducks that are just begging to be intercepted.

[rayzor]

other teams read the interwebz too....

thanks jake!

I read this too. WOW!!!! Haven't these two every heard of a 3 WR set? Why on earth would you keep calling a play that clearly doesn't work? :eek:

The fact that both these idiots (Fox and Hurney) will continue to try plays that obviously won't work is another reason I think both should be given their walking papers after this season. Pathetic!

[rayzor]

forget 3 WR sets...you have 6 good receiving options, spread the ball to them.

smith, moose, williams, stewart, rosario, king. those guys are on the field most the time anyway, feed it to them. just spread that ball around to them earlier.

when hoover's back in, get him involved as a receiver more. they've got goodson, throw him in the mix.

just get more receiving options involved.
