Final Coverage #s for Dez full game:

He was singled up 16 times?

21 go routes. Does anyone not blame the coaching at this point?

Me. Should of been 22.

Interesting info there. He seemed to be less double covered than claimed by some. Further, 21 go routes is a total outlier but frankly, to really understand it, I'd like to see how that ties in to other players. So essentially 50% of his routes were deep routes. How does that compare to say how AJ Green is used or Julio Jones is used? Did Cincy run that many go routes for Green too?

With 8 in the box I figured Dez had to be single covered a good deal of the time. Dak will learn and improve.

Good way to be objective about it. As easy as it seems to blame staff, Dak also needs to see the field. He'll only get better as season goes along.

Hopefully Garrett can run a go route of his own.

This is interesting stuff. Tells you a lot of the story.

Thank you another voice of reason.

Just think how drained any receiver would be after 21 go routes, they were using him to clear out or decoy.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

21 go routes? 2 slant routes to one of the most physical WR in the game?

Linehan put together a lousy gameplan

All day he ran deep. Be was obviously used as a decoy to open up the field for Beasely and Witten. You still have to get him in the gameplan.

 

[birdwells1]

Where are those crossing routes.

 

[Don Corleone]

I heard this on the radio earlier. They had no intention to get him the ball with 21 go routes.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Stupid. Go routes are for butler, not dez.

Absolutely, at the end of game you want him to be at full strength and I don't see how he can be after running that many go routes.

 

[Daillest88]

A freaking decoy

 

[Yakuza Rich]

All day he ran deep. Be was obviously used as a decoy to open up the field for Beasely and Witten. You still have to get him in the gameplan.

Or realize that the gameplan isn't working after a while. Or save him up for the 4th quarter and change up what you're doing with him (Arians does this with Fitzgerald all of the time).

I could see during the game that the G-men were going heavy on Dez and that the gameplan was to go to Beasley...which was working. Then we get away from it and start going to Witten on screens and pivot routes.

I love Witten as much as anybody. But, for 14 years we can't figure out that pivot routes and screen plays are not his game. I don't blame Witten, I blame the doofus coach with the Ivy League education who still tries to fit that square peg into the round hole.

I bet a lot of that single coverage is with a safety over the top so it's cover 1, but it will function as doubling Dez.

And 21 go routes on 44 plays is ABSURD.
