He's a dope. Went ultra conservative with Brock last week vs the boys then does the opposite with Josh Johnson. Guy should not have been Allowed to attempt a pass.
There's 100 run concepts he could have used instead. Run left, run right, screen left, screen right, read option, wildcat, pitch, jet sweep. Etc.. all don't involve Johnson having to do anything but manage.
You need a better o line to accomplish that. not to mention you are going up against a good Eagles team that is expecting the run. run the wildcat and read option with who?
Johnson can run the read option. The guys been with 14 different teams and learned 14 different offenses. It's literally looking at the defensive end and seeing whether he's going for QB or RB and deciding to keep it give. Unless you think Stanford graduates CMC is not smart enough to run it.
Wildcat they ran later and juice or CMC could run it with Josh.
Every other concept we run all the time and are part of the regular playbook. You literally could run the jet sweep 4 different ways just by trading between aiyuik, deebo, mcloud, and kittle and we have run it with each of them before.
He can run a basic toss pitch also.
None of this is foreign you just need a coach willing to throw out his normal play sheet and call it when the circumstances call for it.
It was not a player problem it was a coaching play call problem none of it got done.
