The deep ball is more about a receiver getting to it rather than the QB putting it into their hands. Al Davis former Oakland Raiders owner always had a speedster or even a track guy on the outside to get to the bomb. Make the defense defend the entire field and just win baby!!
Not to sure about first play..especially a play action pass as you have to establish that the run is a serious threat before play action plays typically work..
But..we do need to let teams know we will go long with the ball..that is the only question mark I have with our play calling is why we don't go long more often to at least let teams know we will try.
Even if we can't complete the pass..you can make sure to throw it where they can't intercept it, and just knowing you will try forces teams to defend it..
What would you run on Saturday if you were Debord/Jones?
Me?
I am doing a play action to Hurd and letting Dobbs turn the ball loose for as far as he can throw it. Let VT know you are going to throw it deep from the get go.
Hopefully, PW or Malone bring it down and you are set from then on.
What say you fellow "keyboard coaches"?
