Cam had a bad day after missing two weeks of practice behind a makeshift offensive line that had never taken the field and with an ineffective running game. I expect a better showing Sunday if they can practice.
Cammy had a bad day because we had a makeshift OL that couldn’t run block well enough to execute the game plan that we can win with. We will win an awful lot of games when we run first, and run effectively enough that we only (mostly) put cammy in a position where he is throwing against a run heavy defense. This create mismatches, open receivers, easy reads and easy throws.
Doing that cammy can be an effective passer. Asking him to throw into a defense that is expecting passes a lot of times gives us the game we just saw. Gives us pressure that he has no concept of how to handle so he either runs or throws at whatever he sees first, often a defender. Gives us a game where we have to drive down the field in passing situations and despite shielding him by running too, we can get the ball in the end zone.
It’s the team we have. It’s no different than most teams; if you force them into what they don’t do well they struggle. If they control the game they do well.
