im hoping that Kyle will eventually build the faith, trust, cohesion with Brock that he allows Brock to make those kind of decisions. It's hard to become a legitimate field general qb when you don't have that kind of final say. It'll be interesting if we see Kyle do this with Brock. If not this year, maybe next, when he has even more experience seeing various defenses.
I'm not totally sure. Like to know what Matt LaFleur side with Rogers? Same scheme, but you know he has full command of that offense.
it's just weird to me that the center would have control of all the protections. Like he can see a safety coming downfield. Kyle has got to keep evolving the offense and getting his soon to be expensive QB more control. All
Yeah, I'll try and see if I can find any information on that. That's a good reference - even Stafford with McVay would be interesting to know.
this is the main argument I've heard - a center doesn't have the complete visual that a qb does. Centers pretty much can't really see past the d line. They can't tell if a CB is showing blitz or how a safety is looking etc.
which makes me think the protection call is more complicated in Kyle's system than just the center doing it all. Maybe that was just with Jimmy? I'd be really curious if someone asked Kyle this at a press conference
