The biggest reason Linehan hasn't called more downfield routes is:
-Leads to sacks. Memo: We've had poor protection, leading the league in getting sacked
-Dak hasn't been confident throwing the ball deep... it was painfully evident in camp, pre-season and early in the year
Funny how folks want to criticize after the offense posted nearly 600 yards in offense.
If we can find a Sean McVay to run the offense, I'm all for an upgrade. But Linehan is far better than believed around these parts.
I want Linehan gone in the offseason, but this is getting out of hand. Dak is really good at throwing the stop route and average at best on the go-route. That he connected twice in this game is really really good for him, though I'd say the second throw was just a sky that floated for about a decade but that Amari adjusted great to.
There are plenty of warts on Linehan's offense, but he's also aware that this team struggles on that route. Even if we didn't, the league average is something like 28% (which is exactly where dak lies). So you can call it 4 times and only expect to hit it once.
