Will Jay's offense follow Scott's lead?
Jay Gruden Pass ratio: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/passing-play-pct
Bengals 2013-57 2012-58 2011-56 Washington 2014-60% pass (#15 in the NFL) Just for frame of reference: Seattle: 49% pass (#31 in the NFL) San Fran:53% pass (#26 in the NFL) Green Bay: 56% pass (#23 in the NFL) We've all heard the soundbites of McCloughan of his vision for the offense which he seems to bring with him from Seattle and San Fran: “We have a similar philosophy about big guys, smart guys, tough guys. We want to be able to run the ball, be able to pound the ball and get that D-line to want to quit and understand that when you play the Washington Redskins, we’ll come at you no matter what.” But for me when I look at Scott's vision it doesn't seem to mesh with what we know of Jay's history and tendencies. I've posted Jay play calling/game plan tendencies in regards to pass/run ratio above. Jay has been a pass focused OC and even moreso as a HC. Marvin Lewis, a decidedly defensive oriented HC was able to limit Jay's pass focus to ~57%. (in his absence they've dropped to 52% pass) But last year when Jay had total control his pass % jumped up to 60%. I see 2 distinct offensive philosophies when I look at Jay and Scott and I wonder whether or not Jay will follow Scott's lead or will Jay maintain his offensive philosophy/tendencies? Enough of the preamble....do you think Jay's pass ratio will drop to reflect a shift to being more run focused? And do you want it to? (was gonna make a poll but didn't see the poll option) |
