And the quarterback just needs to point guard.
So a lot of the base offense...
can I think remain the same.
The one thing that you do lose is the quarterback running game.
You saw that be a huge part of their approach against the Bills.
Early drives, especially on late downs, right, to convert.
So I do think that your short yardage stuff gets a little bit strained.
Stidham will throw a very nice deep ball.
Nick's
had a great deep ball game against the Bills, but in general, has been one of the least accurate deep ball throwers since he entered the league in 24.
So I think you could see the field stretch a little bit more, a little bit more shot plays, longer dropbacks in the pocket, a little bit more climb and step up.
He's a bit bigger and he stands there a little bit longer.
But at the same time, you start welcoming pressures and sacks if you
go that way.
And Bodex is a superpower.
The thing that he does best that keeps this offense chugging is he takes no sacks.
Since he entered the league, 3.5% sack rate is the lowest of all quarterbacks in football.
Stidham over his four starts at 8%, which is a very league average number.
And so you can go for longer dropbacks.
Use the fact that Stidham is a little bit more accurate throwing down the field, a little bit bigger of an arm.
