[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 1001127, member: 4199"] Of course, that is what we want, but if Love can't hold up his end of the bargain, it's going to be a tough season. Playing 8-9 men in the box also helps clog up slants, flats, nearly everything else that isn't a deep shot. Assuming Love can diagnose, check to the right play, and make them pay, we're (currently) dependent on Watson's health/availability. If we lack a deep threat, not only will the other guys play heavy, but they'll play tight on the outside, which also negates "quick shots." Play action can work, but other than dump offs, isn't necessarily easy. Your 1st year starter has to turn his back to the defense, do whatever kind of rollout action, turn around, and find the open man. There may not be 1/2 men, but you can cheat it a little bit. Put the SS in the box (+1) Have the FS cheat 1-2 yards toward the LOS (+1/2) Against a first year starter? I'm playing "prove you can do it." No matter his ceiling, he'll have growing pains. Pressure him. Make the hard passes the "right" read. Make him have to throw 70% of the time. If and when he puts it together, then sure, play him honest. [/QUOTE]
