Part of the Offensive Philosophy You’d Like to Change?

[Harry]

For my part I’ve been bothered by how the Cards defend the pass rush. It’s particularly a concern when they go with an empty backfield. I don’t understand why the Cards seemingly don’t use hot reads. Simply put, a designated receiver runs a short, pre-designed, quick opening route that allows the QB to rapidly dump the ball. The Cards seem to still go with Murray being responsible for making the first man miss. Other teams are aware of Murray’s tendencies and the result is too often unfavorable.

Combination routes.

Too many of our routes seem to be run in isolation where we rely on the WR to straight up beat their man with very few route combinations with routes designed to help someone get open.

We definitely have hot reads in the offense. BTW this clip is Kyler streaming with Cody Ford.

He's generous there to Andy Isabella. I wouldn't call a hot read a "0.2 second glance at the QB after 5 yards then run a deep post". Andy has to give him his eyes longer there.

This is one of the many little things fans don't appreciate that QB's and Coaches hate on. If you're the hot and you keep messing it up it has big ramifications. I'm not saying Andy is always messing them up, just saying it's not all about stats.

I'd like to see 50% under center.

Someone didn‘t know it was a hot read if that was the case. Watch the receiver’s head. He should be looking for the ball as soon as he passes the defender; maybe a 2 count. It just looked like a short, skinny post was called.

 

[JeffGollin]

I’m more concerned about execution than I am philosophy.

Just avoid false start penalties, high snaps and other foolish breakdowns and we’ll be OK.

 

[TheCardFan]

On 3rd down- stop throwing 20/30/40 yards to the tight sideline. Drive killers.

 

[oaken1]

2nd and 1

Screw the first down.
Score.

If you fail then get the 1st down on 3rd and 1

They messed it up there for sure, but the main point of the clip was Kyler saying they're drilling hot reads every week.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I want Kliff to stop getting cute with his play calling at times.

 

[oaken1]

Bubble screens

Gotta go.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Motion is the biggest thing I would like to see. Having Hopkins run 90% of his routes from the same spot is dumb

well…. we extended DJ and Hudson is still snapping so…….

 

[cardsfanmd]

Throwing to sub 6’ receivers consecutively in goal to go situations inside the 3 yard line.

 

[slanidrac16]

More crossing routes especially for outlets and up tempo only used sporadically not for an entire drive.

 

[Goldfield]

Stop going for fourth down with the ball on the wrong side of the 50 yard line. I don’t care what the analytics say.

 

[football karma]

Bubble screens

i can see fewer

what i understand: bubble screens in combo with playing fast are about gassing defensive linemen. You want them running laterally side to side

 

[football karma]

the one change: incorporate more waggle style plays

just feel like this gives K1 so many options and room.

I heard KK say that he appreciates the waggle motion in McVays offense, but that it doesnt fit well with his -- i would love to know why that is

 

[PACardsFan]

I would agree almost entirely with this. But, our D down the stretch last year couldn’t stop a HS offense, so we were forced to take more risks to keep the ball in our hands.

Right, but that D has a better chance defending a longer field than a short one.

True. But it couldn’t do either.

Then why don’t we see them.

 

[football karma]

i have no issue with Kliff's propensity for going for it on 4th down

 

[kerouac9]

Then why don’t we see them.

Because he feels like he can beat the rush?
