The play right before was a WR screen to Greathouse. Here's how the play looked right after the snap:

A good throw would lead Greathouse into the lane that's being set up. Our numbers here aren't perfect, but if (Schrauth?) can get a body there, Greathouse should be able to get 5 at least.

Instead, the throw is late, and to make matters worse, it's high, so Greathouse has to leave his feet to make the catch. We get 2.

Like, this isn't hard stuff. Replacement level QB play could jump start this offense, and we're not getting it.

        I think there are some things we know at this point..... - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 08:53

        Yes. Ideally those are your two bellcow receivers. And you - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 09:57
        
        it's honestly not even clear what we were trying to do - Mike (bart), 2024-09-09, 10:01

        Faison expected back this week, fwiw - KGB, 2024-09-09, 10:00
        
        Great summary - BPH, 2024-09-09, 09:49
        
        haven't heard his take on this, but I think it is fair - Jay, 2024-09-09, 08:49
        
        do you have some playcalling/design in mind? - HumanRobot, 2024-09-09, 10:55
        
        We had Leonard before we had Denbrock. I wonder whether - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 08:54
        
        we also have protection problems, and receiver problems - Jay, 2024-09-09, 08:59
        
        you don't see the plays that don't happen because it comes - Mike (bart), 2024-09-09, 09:11
        
        not saying he didn't suck - Jay, 2024-09-09, 09:16
