Teams knew that the combination of Brissett's weaknesses and our inexperienced receivers allowed them to just play the run and dare us to pass. As soon as they took away the run game, the wheels fell off.
What I didnt see this year is an effective screen game to take advantage of Wlikins. 2018 was Pag's last year, and we were screaming for it then. We should be making better use of our athletic OL to open up the short pass / screen game outside to negate the dearth of receiving talent and the skills of Brissett.
There was a stat I cant find where we run the ball on 90% of our 2nd and long snaps. Not scouting ourselves is a mistake the Pags regime made over and over and over.
