A lot of the emphasis for those schemes can be attacking sideline to sideline… An Inverted stick with an option route, he really did lock into those options routes, and as you know as anyone who’s played quarterback, those breaks can take an extra beat to come open as the guy is reading down the field if he’s gonna break out or break inside based on available leverage. He doesn’t necessarily know where his guy is gonna be on every given snap within 2.5 seconds and because of that, as we saw, some things broke down a little more often than you would like,” Brooks said.
