TBH . . . I think both can work. But if we are going to chuck it, I'd rather go full WCO on it and abandon the play action deep pass.
The irony is during the Lynch years everyone complained that we didn't chuck it around enough with the pass when the run wasn't working for quarters and entire first halves.
And just to tag on to this . . . hindsight is the fan's biggest gift and the coaches greatest curse.
Every time some fan says "Bevell needs to not be so predictable" I am reminded of another fan (or even the same fan at another time!) saying "Bevell needs to not get so cute."
Bottom line is that the success of any given play is predicated on 4 elements . . .
1. is it the right playcall?
2. is it executed correctly?
3. is it the right defense?
4. does the defense make a great play?
The OC really only has input into 1 of those elements, but often gets blamed for all 4.
