The thing I'm looking at cautiously, is that we played their second string and they didn't throw anything exotic at Caleb. Caleb still has to clean up his footwork and that ball tap he does before throwing. KC is playing their starters this weekend, so we may see more. I'm also interested in seeing the plays after the scripted ones are used. Unfortunately, we won't see that until regular season. I think we do well with the first 15 or so scripted plays but there are a lot of unknowns right now but it seems like BJ has cleaned up most of his fundamentals. I think the scheme will help him a lot as BJ did with Goff in Detroit. Goff was a throw in on the Stafford trade, but BJ got him in a rhythm and you have seen the results. Caleb is more talented that Goff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GM is on record way before that trade was made that he was a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, we won't see that until regular season. exactly. all we have are indicators, and proof of concept. we'll see how it all holds up against Minnesota, but there is a lot to be happy about coming out of this past weekend I am sure youll agree. There is a way to go, but it looks like we have the right guys to get there. Im not gonna crown anyone until we see it on the field in September, but there are obvious reasons for optimism. I appreciate your pumping the brakes a little here, and I totally agree. But still - this looks like it might be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago What I liked the most from the highlights, because I didn’t watch the game, is how open receivers were. In years past, there were numerous times where an opponent was wide open. I thought, “How the hell does that happen to us every game, but our receivers are never open like that?” Well, now it has happened. And not just once. Multiple times. That’s something we simply haven’t seen much in the past 40 years or go. The last time I remember seeing that was with Crowton before everyone figured him out. cautiously optimistic, but that’s a very good sign.

I was driving home today and randomly was thinking the same thing - was nice to see guys legitimately open where every pass doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect. You got to have those tight window throws and ability to throw guys open - but it also helps when you have throws and guys open and various levels because the scheme and talent allow them to get open.

Stinger226 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Open WRs now allows Caleb to react to what he sees and he doesn't have to think about it. Keep a rythum to the offense. A lot more open plays in the middle of the field in his line of sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
