" Man coverage produces some pretty tight coverages on receivers . Upping knockdowns ints. Maybe lowering the value man will open up some shorter reads? Perhaps bump is what's making reads each change a cat and mouse kinda thing?"
Touching on this some as I played one game with alot more short passes . I tried not to pick plays with slant /curl/outs . Simply said man Coverage is too tight , and I think the play overuse penalty it a bit too strong. Or the blitz one is.
The power of man is clearly stronger specially when you compare it to zone...... and when and how the qb reads and completes a pass is night and day. ....pending similar ratings . Most teams are at a 40% completion rate vs. A man under defense . If you play zone those same passes it's like 75+%
We took zero sacks on short passes and right now , with the right plays selected a qb can go a whole season without taking a sack . He might not win all the games but still strange .
Reads are not the best and that cat and mouse game of money plays seems rampant , but I am enjoying 4.6. I am seeing some real nice results . Just wish it were easier to pass shorter within those other plays that might not get so much yards after the catch vs. A blitz.
Ones executed by a good read and catch with a good route and release run. I see them and the qb throw to a doubled player. The faster a defender is the quicker and he gets there and then its a chance for a knockdown or worse an int.
The qb does pull out some nice isolations in the middle of the field . Still, I think a lot of this is the lack of plays after the pocket breaks down. It accounts for 20% of nfls plays and we just don't have that.
I feel the qb would by more time . ..make more reads..run it and maybe complete one on the scramble. We're just taking sacks or forcing throws too quickly . And taking little sacks if any. Most are vs. That broke rollout.
I think I'm kinda done on these subjects till a change puts completion rates vs. Man under in check. With the other holes we should be passing for 800 yards games with high completion rates here and there . Defenses are still over powered ...well fast heavy man under defenses will be...and feedback will be rough.
Honestly I don't think there's a way to balance it much more. Unless the timings of certain reads are better .
It has me wondering if this is why faster qbs do well despite higher accuracy . Does ball carry and stuff allow you to drop back faster to make faster reads? Or do all qbs wait for the primary ?
Perhaps the ball carry with some speed it giving qbs a split second of more time to make a better read and throw ? But I feel I am stretching it here as I got little else to post .
