You think we'll have a package for Ehlinger to play in regular season games this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudfeld was promptly brought in to Detroit. I'd love to see him get to start a few games once Williams is back later this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see that happening but would not be shocked if it did I guess. I think there are too many teams that needed a back up and would have claimed him immediately. My thought this was just to protect him to be the back up next year. Maybe Frank has something up his sleeve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal line formations, short yardage. It's a #s game at that point and a QB with legs evens that out. Safeties play up and aggressive. We used Brissett similarly, effectively, and I think Ehlinger has boo coo more potential in that role than Jacoby. (not saying much, I guess) Our wildcat (ish) formations were very effective last year... Titans game, Pats game come to mind... I think you can just use him in that situation, compared to putting Hines there at Q. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Goal line package/short yardage for Ehlinger would be using all of his best traits-- zone reads, RPOs, throwing on the run, and using his legs to make plays. There wouldn't be 7 step drop backs worrying about multiple reads, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is still awful but they are making some nice moves on offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing with Wentz… Ehh I’m not a huge fan…but with Reich I wouldn’t doubt it one bit lol. Matt Ryan is a player I put my full trust in to convert or audible into the right plays there. Would you take Peyton Manning off the field just to get a numbers advantage? Imo I put my trust in the brilliance of the player for my advantage over an extra man when I don’t know if I can trust them to execute or make the right read.

Cov 0 or Cov 1 with a 5 or 6 man blitz.... So, either you consistently win vs. 1 on 1... or you incorporate a QBs legs. Look 4th and 1 I want the ball given to JT anyways, putting SE in the game to hand him the ball slows the defense wayyyy down in that regard. I actually assumed we all wanted to see SE in a short yardage/goal line package, at times. Colts haven't been good in the redzone for a while now. Or use Hines, I really don't care... someone has to account for the extra guy in the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust Matt Ryan with the ball in his hands to either hand it off or audible to a quick slant/hot read…but hey…that’s why we are all arm chair qbs/gms/coaches. I’m sure we will have a package…just hope we don’t need it but a couple times a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it was base offense. 1st and goal from the 8.... put Hines in motion on jet sweep, Ehlinger reads the playside DE... he flies up field, Sam keeps. You get your regular great OL run blocking with jet sweep action and a physical runner getting downhill.... you do all of that, while taking pressure off your big 3 to move the football. That was obviously just one example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 It's also something else the defense has to prepare for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t want to be rolling it out with the season on the line. Putting guys in pressure packed moments that they are not used to or comfortable in to me causes them to make bad decisions…like not making the correct read. Some might say that it is the right call by the coach in that situation but actually it’s the wrong call because you are putting your team in position to fail by having the wrong personal on the field.

We don’t know yet…they haven’t played any games. I’m saying I think the upgrades they have made are going to make them a lot more competitive and that offense is going to hold its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
