So I think that it's part of the fact that we've, like, it's not a secret.

That was the big move is like, we're going to do these motions for Tyreek Hill and do these anticipatory deep end cuts.

That was our offense.

And that again is a shorter throw.

So I think taking into account Tua's limitations with arm strength, the challenge is, and he did it, I think twice last night that he hit the outside deeper out cut throws.

They're going to challenge him to do that because with that ball in the air for that long floating, they feel like that is to their advantage because he can't rip those throws.

I mean, Dan, one second is an eternity in football.

Like I think it's like two and a half seconds is like the average time to throw.

So like a whole second is forever.

It's going to change all the dynamics.

And I also think that it's a, it's, I don't, I want to say it's an oversimplification, but I think that makes it seem like that stat doesn't matter.

I think that stat matters, but there's so many other confounding variables that will play into the, how effective this offense is.

I think explosive plays play.

are like the currency of offense in football if you get a lot of explosive plays then you're going to have a lot of success creating those explosive plays are sometimes dependent on other things that are less interesting or less attractive to talk about which includes like the running game that was the key to the eagles last year was they were able to consistently create explosive plays without the high risk of throwing the ball down the field so throwing the ball downfield is a lower probability of success so you don't want to do it all the time even though you need explosives

Handing the ball off and also throwing the ball downfield opens you up to turnovers.

Handing the ball off, worst case scenario, we're going to get a two yard gain, a one yard loss.

We can live to fight another day.

Best case scenario for the Eagles last year was we're going to get a 50 yard touchdown.

And that was the same way that the Dolphins offense was at one point was they were getting explosive plays from the running attack, which then causes teams to not be comfortable to sit back in those ridiculous zones.

And then that opens up Tyreek Hill.
