... the job of the offensive coaches in that situation ... the OC and probably the QB coach ... is to stress to Ryan his progressions.
"Okay, so-and-so is your No. 1 on this. It's gonna be a quick route. If that's covered, your No. 2 is gonna be X. You're gonna have to come off that quick, okay? And if that's not there ... we cannot take a sack! We're gonna flare player Y out in the flat. If option 1 and option 2 are gone ... option 3 is gonna be right here. Throw it at his feet and let's kick a field goal.'
Got to be real clear about progressions and timing. This guy is here. This guy is here. This guy is here. Your protection is A. Your route progression is this. If none of it is there, get rid of it here ... and get rid of it this way. Everybody needs to be on the same page.
Guess it didn't happen.
