Their point is there is no evidence on film of them running those routes.. UT has a truncated route tree with not a lot of intermediate routes its all short or GO...its mostly run to a spot. Its not that they are saying these guys can't run the routes because they play in this offense its they don't have FILM and without FILM it does not count. They want ot see it on film so they can break down their hips and so on. their ability to create separation. In this offense its mostly the scheme that creates separation. This is not a knock on the scheme; it works. It allows you to be successful with WR's who might be limited. The downside is it puts a stigma on these who play in it and kind of stifles growth to some extent. You can practice the whole route tree but if you're not doing it in game its not the same. Just like you see videos of Ben Simmons or Angel Resse draining threes in the offseason it does not translate into the season. Trust me Reesse will be bricking layups again this season. Same with running routes its not something you just start doing.. its a craft you hone over years and learn facing many opponents. There is a reason people minds get blown when they find out Jerry Rice ran a 4.71. He looked fast on the field and was always open.. because routes. Good Route running can make you look faster than you are because you create separation over faster players.
