2 issues I see with it.

1) we take to long to throw it out there and cant expect the WRs to hold the blocks more than a few seconds.
2) it seems we have two blocking WR's in the play bringing more defenders into the area.  Its also hard to run against tighter coverage.

and are we throwing them to WR's or other positions?  Custis caught 1 or 2 last week.

*I noticed on one CMU replay the camera clearly showed that when we threw a guy out to take a screen their LB immediately closed on the play.  There was no hesitation from him at all.  So we're doing something wrong when the LB isnt hesitating to leave the middle underneath.  Conversely they threw a bubble and our LB bit on the fake handoff.  I think they got 8 or 9 as a result and our guy barely got to the los.

if we're going to throw them then we  have to keep people honest.  If it's really viewed as a run then they need to average 4 yards a carry and not 1.  I'd be curious to know what our yards per catch/carry are on bubble screens.
