ok I am ready to get beat up on this one but hear goes. last year we ran ta on jet sweeps all the time most were fakes. I think if the df has a middle blitz called and they see ta coming on a jet sweep they call it off because they don't want their lb up the middle while ta is going around the end. last year I noticed if we faked gurlly up the middle and ta on the j s the pass protection was really good. if we ran a lot of j s we would limit the routes ta could run but he could still run some and the df could not bump and run with him as easy. pluss if we faked it to him a lot then when we did give it to him it might work better. i really think this would help get our ol get back to where it was last year.
100%. Those TA runs did a lot for this offense. It's been an element almost completely lacking from our offensive gameplan. At this point in time last year. Tavon was averaging 3 carries a game for 9.3 yards per carry.
That's 3 runs, typically going off the edge on a sweep, for first down yardage each time. And they motioned him on fake sweeps frequently as well.
Tavon has earned criticism for his play, and no he's not playing up to that contract right now, but the play calling has been sorely lacking as well.
