look at how much the play calling has changed.  the highest upside of the offense was the power run with the threat of the passing game..   Coaches knew that and tried to go down that road. Once we saw that it still somewhat limited they pulled the trigger and went to even more RPO stuff but at a cost of a passing game that will sputter at times.

they went for the home run offense and settled for the doubles offense. cant fault them for that.

but when you have limited practice time it still takes awhile to make that change, you need to get the QB up to speed. Its not like Shrader was getting all the snaps and then starting Tommy.  You need to work on the stuff #1 was gonna run..  once they flipped that it still takes time to get those plays settled.  Now if this is more the offense style we will be using more of with QBs 2/3 going forward that will help them but then they are not getting a ton of snaps either now..

Go back and look at the the plays that succeed how many of them are after contact plays.. You dont practice that way to see how many battles the qb will win so you dont know if it will work until it gets done in game conditions.  When you see how Shrader throws 50% of the time its hard to go that route with a running game you dont really know much about until you see it..   I mean half the passes sat that were missed were not even touchable let alone catchable.
