On to football season

Looks like Levi will have plenty targets to sling it to.

We have targets, but a poor passing game due to scheme. If I’m being honest.

Maybe year three will be a charm.

With Chandler playing so well we might see the Offense open up since we don't have to worry if Lewis gets dinged up

You are right. If Napier gets comfortable with Fields, the game plan may not be as protective of Levi. Open it up baby.

Scheme? Hmmm...

The running game scheme is legit.

Just in the passing game we rely on athletes to get open and not scheme them open. A ton of that is the laziness of the RPO.

C4L, just to make sure we are on the same page you are saying Lewis isn't the issue but the issue is scheme? Can you expand on that? What do you mean scheme them open?

Good schemes can manifest themselves in many ways and versions of ways.

A scheme where the defender has to pick or choose who to defend creates a temporary window that a decent quarterback can pick apart, is one.

Oh Levi definitely has limitations in the passing game. But our route development and route tree is severely dumbed down.

That isn’t just a Napier issue or UL issue. If you watch the majority of college football, the offenses you see today are extremely dumbed down compared to 15 years ago.

There is minimal QB development, minimal WR development these days. Plays called in from the sidelines and the audibles are given through signs. The game and athletes are better in General, but offensive schemes are much simpler.

Why would we dumb down the route tree? Wouldn't running a full tree allow us to get more open opportunities? So in your opinion how do we fix the issue?
