Respecting the deep ball is exactly what we want. I don’t think we necessarily wanted marquise brown for us to chuck it 50 yards every snap, I think we wanted him so that we could be a complete offense and have the primary threat needed to allow us to do what we wanna do, and that’s run the ball.
We can spread you out with 4 wide and a back(likely with a TE in the slot) and run it down your throat, we can go heavy formation with 2 TEs a FB and 1WR and pass to any level of the field. Making teams respect the deep ball and forcing them to play cover 1-3, taking a guy out of the box, putting more dbs on the field, is ideal, especially when those defensive formations are getting you gashed on the ground consistently, then that same defensive formation has safeties getting itchy and suddenly a traditional play action has a Hollywood wide open splitting the safeties who cheated up, or a Boykin 1v1 down the sideline.
Let them play safeties deep over Hollywood all day, we’re just gonna go and average 5+ YPC and Hollywood is STILL gonna outrun them at times
