I don't think that's the whole story though. I could be wrong? I think being a first year play caller and that caused Pete to be much more involved as well. This offense is nothing like an offense Pete has ever ran on any team. I think Pete to his credit gave up control and decided to trust Waldron in year two much more than he did in year 1. Again maybe Russ is 100% the reason I just don't think that's the case.
I'll paraphrase Tyler Lockett.
After listening to what player/coaches say and looking at some of the plays from last year, I think it is a little of "all of the above". I think RW would audible out of some plays or would not trust his receivers. I also think he would too often go with the "homerun" throws when a shorter throw was available and more practical. Though Waldron getting more comfortable and more creative can't be discounted. We also need give huge props to the OL and of course, Geno himself. There are just so many things that are different from the last couple of seasons that I don't think it is just one thing.
I feel like that drive was designed to get Lockett’s mind off his drop. First drop in 17 games for him, according to espn.
Yes…false start….was typing on the go.Not sure what you mean by "offsides." Maybe you mean a false start or an illegal procedure? IAE, one player can be moving behind the line of scrimmage as the ball is snapped, even if it is the QB acting like he's moving down the line making calls. As long as no other WR, TE, or RB is moving at the tiime and nobody is moving toward the LOS it's legal. Rams have been doing it to us for years now.
And yeah, a very well called game overall.
While not a come behind play, he did pick up that first down that should have iced the game if not for his coaches penalty.
