I've certainly caught instances of this happening with Campbell in there. The ball gets to the checkdown incredibly quickly.
Thing is, I think the very biggest change since the first two games of the season is the change in our attack plan from a team leaning to the spread end of the continuum to the power end of it. From base 3 WRs, what we were most of last year, to an I-formation team. Since Sellers dropped that pass in the end zone against St. Louis, we haven't used a RB combo route.
We've relied on a lot of play action, and two receiver routes with those built in check downs on first and second down. And Campbell, on the whole, simply hasn't been very good on these plays. It remains probable, in my mind, that our receivers are completely covered downfield. At least the X's and O's game suggests they are.
The big difference is that teams are really, really starting to jam Cooley off the line on our play action plays, and sometimes Moss is able to get behind the safeties, but usually he isn't. Campbell's efficiency on these PA passes is way, way down from his career average, and in my opinion, we need junk the power running team charade.
And I know that our three second round picks have been an utter disappointment to this point, but still, Sellers is getting way too much playing time in an offense that needs to get right soon.
