Takeaways from Tim Harris Jr. Calling the Plays

[ReturnOf]

For me, the biggest difference I saw was calling for passes on what would be considered obvious running downs.

Case in point, the 2nd TD to Pittman at the 2-3 yard line, traditionally we would of have tried to smash it in, but Rizk RPO action froze the defender just enough to drop that dime to Pittman.

It showed aggression. I saw plays called that were never called from Gus's playbook.

Downfield passes that had a chance

Rizk made Gus look good in 4th Q last week too. Only problem with that was Gus couldn’t be a HC because he was worried about play calls all the time.

The first pass. The wide receiver screen to Hudson was a simply play that we seemed to never run under gus

 

[Bring Back Wackadoos]

Hell of a brave call to call a pass on the first play after Arizona downed a punt inside the one-yard line (1st quarter). With everyone thinking run, Rizk threw pretty low over the middle, and Kobe was somehow able to dig it out before the ball hit the ground for an 11-yard gain.

I liked he focused on balance but also stretching the defense with vertical passes but also giving Rizk a chance to get comfortable with quicker passes and allowing our playmakers to actually make a play after catch.

The obvious needs to be said here. Harris had a QB who could consistently throw a forward pass. It's truly a game changer .

He acknowledged it too. Gus had the same but chose to look toward a 280 lb fullback as a qb

Gus (or Tim) put Jacurri in a few times near the goal line. AND IT WORKED!

Gus is enamored with the idea of a running QB. To the point that he'd rather have a below average passer at the position if the kid can run

He's also loyal to a fault. I think he promised JRP and K J they'd both start and feels he has to keep his word. This is why he was hesitant to sit them...even when they struggled. He only changed his mind about KJ after feeling he's on the hot seat.

He also kept playing JRP despite his terrible passing. Again, he was enamored with JRP's running ability, his personality, and was too stubborn to admit he made a mistake on his passing ability.
