Josh Rosen On The Rich Eisen Show

If Josh is correct and we are running the Pats offense , I suppose it's a quick throw, run half the time offense?
How would you guys describe it?
It has won SB's, so I'm not unhappy about it.

It's based on scheme first. The pats use multiple plays early in the game and tend to feel out how those plays are being defended throughout the game. As the game progresses routes/combos are changed based on the looks defenses are giving on those plays. It requires an intelligent QB because he needs to know what the adjustments are, where every receiver is supposed to be.

The second is timing. Receivers must be strong route runners who can be in the right position every play.

The third is separation. If you see the Pats roster you notice guy that are very small but quick. BB tends to sacrifice speed for quickness. His recievers always test in the 83rd percentile or better in terms of 3 cone and 20 yd dash.

MJD gives his thoughts on Card's GM ghosting Rosen.

Have to make sure the opposing D plays 10 yds off every play and not cover receivers at times for it to work though

Thinly veiled picks, and rubs force defenses to play that way.

Very few teams have the DBs to play a total bump and run scheme the entire game, so it's a case of pick your poison. Give up 7 yds in front of you, or chance giving 20 yds behind you.

Actually the Patriots use very few plays. They can run the same plays from different formations. That’s the staple of the Erhardt-Perkins offense.
