    Mett threw a ton of slants to JL and OBJ. Every 3rd down, in fact. Cam will call it. Can BH throw it?

    yeah you'll see this a lot at the end of nfl games when a losing team will sell out and jailbreak or zero coverage- no safety in the middle of the field (to force a punt, stop the clock and get the ball back). there might be one 2nd level lb due to others blitzing and no one on the 3rd level. usually the offensive team is simply running out the clock trying not to fumble and they break a long run for a td. happens quite frequently.

    same thing with fournette when teams sell out. its an easy 6 if he gets beyond 5-7 yards.

    That's just it, you can't just turn it on like a light switch. If you have no rhythm in your passing game, it won't magically happen against the likes of Bama on the road. Wishful thinking.

    They never dealt with anything close to being this run heavy. In the 2 formative years for both Landry and Beckham (2012 and 2013), we were throwing it an average of 26 times a game. Harris is tossing it only 15 times a game. Huge difference.
