Mailbag question: Receiver not helping much

Mailbag question: Receiver not helping much

Is it just me, or are the receivers not giving Tate much help when he scrambles. It seems that when he scrambles the receivers are stopping and not finding an open area.

Thanks for the question.

In our opinion, that is one of many problems with passing game.
Other problems include:
1) Dropped passes.

2) A lack of a vertical game to stretch a defense; this has really hurt this offense.

3) Poor pass protection, especially blocking the edge and three tech defensive tackles.

4) Forcier is holding the ball too long and he seems to be prejudging where the throw will be going before it is snapped.

5) Receivers are not working back to Forcier when scrambling and it almost seems like they are standing around waiting to see what Forcier does, because in most cases he tries to just scramble and run with it.
