Tepper interfering with playcalling

Maybe I am wrong but I feel like we do run RPOs quite a bit? or am I mistaking play action from shotgun as something different?

 

RPOs are typically much more quick hitting plays with YAC designed.  I hardly ever see them.

 

Most of our shotgun play action are just straight play action, not a true read for Bryce to give or throw it.

And as a general rule, opposing defenses don't tend to get fooled by it

Fooled by shotgun play action or RPOs? I will say the shotgun play action kinda feels half-assed, like the QB is clearly looking up reading the defense while hes "handing" it off lol

I honestly think Frank wanted to be fired. I don't think he wanted Bryce and a meeting with Tepper every week made being here probably unbearable. Coaches usually adapt with what they have and he showed no signs of wanting to do that. After he was fired, he said he was probably done with football. I could be wrong, but it just feels like he wanted to be bought out and retire.

So we’re supposed to believe Reich didn’t take a stand on the QB he wanted but chose this as his hill to die on?

Our version of play action.

And "half-assed" is honestly a pretty good description

It's fun trying to sift through fact and fiction in the aftermath of firings. Based on how awful the OL has been when they were the one constant (players & coaching) that we didn't have to be too concerned about outside of the Corbett injury, I believe the RPO declination.

Watching this team from preseason game 1 to last Sunday in Nashville, this offense epitomizes "square peg, round hole". Every player outside of AT have regressed heavily. I'd say Chuba and Tremble maintained last year's numbers.

I’m almost certain this is an old joke because I feel like I’ve heard it before with a different owner.

I’d have to see the numbers, but I don’t feel like we’ve used it very much at all.

Nah you are right, I guess I was confusing regular ol playaction from shotgun for RPO

Completely.   We don't even try to keep defenses honest.   

 

And we have a struggling rookie QB who we keep forcing to throw without making it easier on him.

 

It's seemed obvious that hard play action, bootlegs, reverses, RPO would be a huge benefit to Bryce AND an OL who is struggling to pass block.

Yeah generally you wanna play action from under center, but Bryce turning his back to the line, and then turning around and stepping up into a throw seems like a no go with his height

I don't know that it's a huge deal; it just didn't happen much in college and Reich apparent didn't even attempt to try.

 

If it keeps pass rush  honest, you have to do it.  2 inches of heigh shouldn't take an entire set of formations out of your playbook.  Brees ran play action under center all the time.

My sources are telling me Nicole wanted Reich to implement the Matt Canada offensive philosophies
