the screen doesn't work when you run the ball 14 times to your #1 RB...
#1 point... the screen doesn't work when you run it every single game.. all the time all day long...
this offense is no-where close to KC.
The screen pass is a powerfull weapon when utilized correctly, and I think everyone including you can agree we're basing an offense around a screen pass, as opposed using the screen pass to "hi-jack" a defense.
I ran that shit in High-school and college, while I admit the comparison isn't even close, the basic principle of a screen pass is to use it as a contrast to the deep ball... once the db's give you the 8-12 yds of respect.....we don't have that so running the SP is useless. The opposing defense watches our game film and says "the number 1 threat is the screen pass"... so they have their db's jump that motion. Lets focus on running the ball, and getting Santana the ball right now and the we'll talk about a successful screen pass.
The right thing to do against INDI is run a fake screen and mold the offense around keeping defenses faithfull, both to the run and the pass. We'll see what happends.
