There’s been a lot including myself about what’s happened with cousins and not being able to move and, and they’re using pistol and they’re, they’re 100% pass out of the gun.
This is the ramifications of not being able to run like bootlegs with a quarterback that can’t run bootlegs.
He just can run down the line to tackle Bijon from the back because bootlegs holds that guy so you could see TJ realizing, oh, oh, you can’t move and then he just second quarter, second quarter, he’s teeing off like it’s the freaking fourth quarter.
That’s such a good point because this offense can truly be maximized with the guy either.
You’re getting under center and you’re attacking the middle of the field with deep play action shots.
Obviously, none of that, they go under center one snap, they no play action in this game.
It looked like a very limited offense and yet you get a great player like TJ Watt.
Absolutely teeing off like it’s like I said, the damn fourth quarter, my spicy take on this was just Falcons just play Michael Pennis right now.
We all see you like we all, we all know, you want to.
Now, I’m thinking back to, they, they rested him completely in preseason.
I was like, why are they?
They’re not gonna play this guy for three years or two?
All the bread crumbs crumbs were there.
I did at least start fantasizing what this offense would look like.
Even if I have questions about Pennix, you know, a guy with just a live arm and can, you know, move a lead a little bit better.
Pennis.
