So here is my question. I have been wondering for a while about why our DB's always line up so far off opposing receievers, dating back to the Gregg Williams days.
I have also wondered why Jason Campbell, while obviously having the physical tools to be an ELITE QB, but an apparent lack of confidence when it comes time for him to release the football. You know, the plays where the it appears to be a timing route, Campbell goes to pass, but pulls it down and checks down to the flat where usually a RB or Cooley are waiting.
It crossed my mind yesterday that our DB lineup schemes could be related to JC being so indecisive. Do you think that in practice, our DB's line up that far off our WR's?
If so, that could result in Campbell having better targets when he is on the practice field, but yield the results on Sundays that we see (due to opposing DB's actually lining up 3 to 5 yards off our WR's as opposed to the 8-15 our DB's line up off other teams WR's.
Think about it, how many times over the years have we heard about our QB's and WR's looking like world beaters on the practice field, only to show unimpressive results when game time comes?
It could have a lot to do with with our coordinators' (Williams and Blache being from the same family coaching tree) stubborn prevent-esque schemes that make us want to pull our hair out.
So I was wondering if it would be accurate to assume that this is what our sputtering offense is used to seeing in practice day after day, which makes them look lost on gameday when the opposing is actually covering us tight, making it harder for JC to read his receivers?
I could be totally off here, but I just I would throw it out there to see if any of you have ever wondered the same thing?
