Hey Hobbit. Good to have the conversation on the site!
Just a little fyi, and I have not looked at prior games but yesterday we had 11 possessions and on 10 of those 11 we had pass plays, or attempted pass play ie sacks, on either first down, second down or both. On other first downs we had pass plays on 12 of 16 I drive possessions on first down second down or both. Of course keep in mind that toward the end of the game being behind as we were pass plays stand out.
I will say and possibly it seems different because so many of those passes are not down the field and I think 3 of those 4 sacks were on first or second down. I’m thinking we have so many of those short passes directly relating to Young’s ability but I could be wrong. The OLine was not good yesterday and seems to be digressing as we continue forward, possibly injury related but early on this year the OLine looked great.
Any ways, the change is coming. However, I will go out on a limb and predict that if Young is the QB I wouldn’t be surprised to see play calling become even more conservative.
Footnote: hope the figures are accurate I went by the CBS gametracker for the results.
