I've said this since Ewers played his first snap. I'm going to say this one more time and for the last time, unless Sark wants to fucking pay me.
- Ewers cannot process information quickly enough. For this reason, he struggles to read zone defenses and he gets surprised by blitzes coming free (his reaction is startle/panic).
- He succeeds when he throws to "WRs running routes", simple RPOs, etc. Last season and early this season, he feasted on RPOs with slants/skinny posts behind the LBs.
Do these very simple things and we have the talent to beat anyone:
- Ewers should never, ever have his back to the LOS...for any reason.
- Shotgun formation, keep Ewers' chest/eyes oriented downfield 100% of the time. He needs 100% of the available time to see and think.
- No long developing plays with all the bullshit. None.
- Passing plays should follow this formula: receive the shotgun snap, read 1st option, read 2nd option if necessary, throw it into the stands if nobody is open. If you thought it was man and it's zone, throw it into the stands. If a blitzer is coming free, throw it into the stands. Not one thing more. Cut your losses and move onto the next play.
- Run the fucking ball if it's working. If it's working just okay, then run enough to keep the LBs honest and the OL motivated.
That's it. We do that on offense, with our defense we can beat anyone. It ain't hard. Surely guys who are paid millions can figure this shit out.
