The offense is run based, which I assume you are all familiar with. Which for simplicities sake, mean's that the team is going to run or at least appear to be a run play, as often as possible. Which, in theory, will bring the LB's closer to the line of scrimmage. That is the set up. I am not going to get into all the run plays that they run in the system, I just want you guys to understand, this is going to be a run first team.
First down is always going to be a run play, or a play action off od the run fake. Bit I would guess it will be a run, 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the time on first down. Which will make the play action all the more effective.
Anyways, that is just something that needs to be understood to explain how the passing offense works which is really where the genius of the offense comes into play.
What id really the secret sauce of the offense that LeFleur is running is that the pass plays, the receivers routes are not determined in the play until the receiver is five or ten yards downfield. The route that is ran in many instances is determined by the defense that is presented against that route, and the QB and WR make the reads on the fly and adjust accordingly.
I know that sounds like it would leave a whole lot of room for error, but really, if executed, is unstoppable.
The WR or TE makes his way off the line of scrimmage, and if he has inside leverage on the defender, he breaks inside, if he has outside leverage on the defender he breaks outside.
It is not like the old days where we grew up with the play call and had to run what was called. In this system, if you run what was called and the defender jumps it and has the leverage over what you were trying to do, you flip the script on him and go the opposite way. The defender can not win if the WR and QB are on point.
Imagine a quick slant where the defender jumps the route, but the WR and QB see's that and turns it out instead. Unless the S is covering that, it is going to be open. If the S is covering that, then the QB knows the TE is going to be wide open behind him.
You all know with a strong run game, the play action to the TE is lethal. Nearly unstoppable.
The rookie TE's do not need to be Jackson and Chmura, to get open behind LBs looking at RBs. But they may certainly become compared to them if they simply catch those easy throws and can shrug off a safety here and there.
I just don't think you guys quite understand how this offense when executed as designed, is truly unstoppable. The defense can do everything right, including the predictions of the receivers route, and the receiver will still be wide open.
If the QB and WR's are on the same page with their reads, there is no stopping them. Assuming the O-line does it's job
