Early season plan was for JF to play behind the full strength OL using pocket passing principles to take advantage of his great deep ball strength. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth as they say…our OL came out with the likes of Patrick and Whitehair starting and Carter subbing in. With Teven and Davis unavailable.
They got worked. JF was abused with an OL not able to provide a clean pocket. He goes down with injury and in steps Bagent. Finally Getz changed the plan and went slant heavy to take advantage of Bagent’s quick trigger but lesser deep ball accuracy. It worked….mostly. The OL held up and provided a clean pocket when not asked to do too much. Now enter this week. Full OL strength and JF at QB. Let’s see how it goes - I expect a blend of both playbook styles depending on how well our OL keeps the pocket clean for JF. It may depend on just how healthy that thumb is too.
