I've been thinking about this. Does Crompton really need that much time to go deep? Why not forget the play action and have Crompton line up under center (or not) take a 3 step drop and launch it deep. I'm sure Nuke has the speed to make that work. No?
Obviously there is something wrong with this because the coaches would have figured out a way to do it, but I don't know why this can't be tried at least a couple of times in the game. If done on third down it would be the same as a short punt if picked off. Just something to keep the defense honest. I think that and short passes is all we have. Swing passes to the RB, roll-outs to FB or TE, and a couple of deep passes. Right now our offense is run plays and short passes. Why not a deep one every once in awhile?
I've already given up that anything in the 10-20 yard range will be an INT or end up in the stands.
EDIT: Not sure why this didn't end up in the main forum.
