I, too, have not been able to grasp the passing game. Rudolph is a wonderful young tight end but we never use him to open up the rest of the field. When CW first arrived he used the tight end position frequently with Fasano and then Carlson. He seems to have forgotten that position, however. We seem to have two plays in our arsenal: lob pass to a receiver running a fly pattern and out routes. He hasn't used the middle of the field at all. That isn't necessarily CW's fault--Clausen may not be looking to throw over the middle enough--but he should be encouraging JC to use the tight end more. |
agreed. many teams focused nearly all of their energy on stopping the WRs on the outside, and I can't tell you how many times i went nuts because the middle was wide open. Remember back before the first game, CW said the reasion he started Rudolph is because "he could get down field faster" than the rest of the TEs. It amazes me that he never let him run the route that he would "get down field." It is absolutely astonishing.
