I thought the Koetter offense used the RB as a check down option less then the rest of the league. Am I wrong in that thinking? The RB screen wasn t in the play book the last 2 seasons. The Koetter offense evolved into an extreme, pretty much unprecedented vertical offense in today s NFL. What we saw on Friday was more the norm of today s NFL. Throws near the LOS with the occasional deep shot. Thoughts? I don't remember many checkdown possibilities in Koetter's offense. PR and Trevor broke down games where Jameis had two or three deep routes to throw and that was it. The RBs blocked to allow extra time for the routes. If there wasn't anything there (which happened a lot) we were screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect rhis offense to be vertical, but also stretch the field horizontally besides the vaunted Hump screen pass from the left slot.

I expect rhis offense to be vertical, but also stretch the field horizontally besides the vaunted Hump screen pass from the left slot. We've already thrown to RBs more in camp and one preseason game than we ever did with Koetter. Koetter seemed to only give RBs routes if they were the primary target. We used to throw to Sims on third down all the time. But that was really it. He tried to get the Rojo wheel route going. But it never took off. Which explains why he was always looking for RBs who could pass block above all else. I remember a few plays where the checkdown was Godwin on a five yard curl route outside the numbers. Or some kind of weird short fade route. Or DJax turning his hips at the snap and waiting, again, outside the numbers. But even those poor concepts were few and far between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they don t want Stewart at safety and Bucannon strictly seems a moneybacker/LB spot only. Dixon going on IR hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sounds like Edwards is only gonna be out for a week or so. I just wonder how long it will take for Evans. With his injuries I would assume he didn't do a lot of running. He is a pulled hammy waiting to happen if not careful. I would think at least 2 weeks of conditioning for Evans before he hits the practice field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
